About a HMO licence
A HMO licence is valid for 1 property and normally lasts for 5 years.
You must get a licence from us if your property:
- has 5 or more unrelated people living in it
- has 2 or more separate households living there
- if your property is already occupied by five or more people and does not have a licence
- if your licence has expired and you haven't renewed it
Applications for HMOs must be made online.
If you are renewing your licence, you must submit your renewal application before your current licence expires.
