They will continue to avoid schemes like this as it is not in their interests to enter into a scheme which may mean having to spend money on their properties which means cutting profits,so they will employ every method they can to avoid it.
It may be that it should be enforced at the point of sale with the purchaser having to declare if a house is a buy to let when purchased.And harsh penalties enforced if upkeep of the properties is not to a good standard within allotted time scales.

In the linked thread, regarding the Selected Licencing scheme, that some are trying to bring to parts of Hyndburn, there are plenty examples given were the scheme has been implemented, and those rogue landlords you describe, have been heavily fined, when all other legal measures have failed.
