House in Multiple Occupation (HMO)

If the property has five or more people who are not related, the landlord must get a licence from us. If your landlord does not have a licence you can report it. 

Report a suspected unlicensed HMO

You can also make an application for a Rent Repayment Order if your landlord has failed to comply with legal notices or they are renting a House in Multiple Occupation without a licence from the Council.
