London Council Launches Consultation on HMO Licensing

A London council is holding a consultation on additional licensing for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). According to Landlord Today, this could allow the council to require licences for smaller HMOs.

Letting agents and inventory clerks should be aware that changes to HMO licensing may affect compliance requirements for properties with multiple tenants. The consultation is being conducted by a Labour-run council, but no further details are provided in the source.
