What are the HMO licensing requirements in North East Lincolnshire?
North East Lincolnshire Council requires an HMO licence where a property has five or more people forming two or more households who share facilities. North East Lincolnshire currently operates mandatory HMO licensing only. Additional or selective schemes may be introduced later after consultation.
Mandatory licences in England normally run for five years from issue. You must renew before expiry — operating without a valid licence can lead to unlimited fines and rent repayment orders.
