The Council is required to licence specified Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO) under the Housing Act 2004. This has been a requirement since 2006 and is currently undertaken by the Private Sector Housing Team. There is no requirement to have a policy on the licensing of these HMO’s, however the purpose of this report is to present a HMO Licensing Policy that is considered good practice and demonstrates how the Council performs this statutory requirement in a transparent and consistent manner.
