Licensing fees for Houses in Multiple Occupation

Levels of fee

How much we charge for an HMO licence depends on:

• the type of tenancy your property has
• if you're making a new application or renewing one
• if you're a landlord accredited by the National Landlords Association or National Approved Letting Scheme
• if we've prompted you to make an application

We may prompt you to apply for an HMO licence if we find that you should have one but haven't made an application. You'll have to pay the prompted fee if we do this.

Fees for single tenancies

Single tenancy shared houses have one tenancy agreement that lists everyone living in them.
