Landlord Licensing
Understanding licensing is essential for landlords in North London. Different boroughs apply different schemes, and failing to comply can result in hefty fines or rent repayment orders. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Selective Licensing
Applies to any rented property in designated areas—regardless of the number of tenants.
✅ Common in boroughs like Enfield, Haringey, and Waltham Forest.
Additional Licensing
Covers HMOs that don’t meet the mandatory threshold—typically smaller shared homes (e.g., 3+ unrelated tenants in a two-storey house).
✅ Required in areas where councils want to regulate more types of shared housing.
Mandatory HMO Licensing
Required for larger HMOs—typically 5 or more tenants forming more than one household, sharing facilities like kitchens or bathrooms.
🚨 Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000 or criminal prosecution.
