House in Multiple Occupation

Chapters in this topic

Introduction

You’ll need a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licence if you’re a landlord or property manager and your property is:

not self-contained
occupied by five or more people, including children, who aren’t related, married, in a civil partnership or living together as if they’re married
the occupants share things like a kitchen or bathroom between them

You’ll need a separate licence for each property.

A HMO licence lasts for five years.

You’ll need to maintain the property. You can read information for private landlords for more information.
