General description
The information presented here covers licences issued by local authorities to residential properties, including Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). HMO licensing was introduced to help ensure that HMOs are well managed. Local authorities are responsible for licensing, which is mandatory for some types of HMO and may be applied to others. Mandatory licensing applies to larger, higher risk HMOs of three storeys or more. Local authorities have the discretion to extend licensing to other categories of HMOs.The information on HMOs was reviewed during 2009 and following consultation changes were introduced to the data items collected. The number of known HMOs was added following the review and was not previously collected and published.
