Renew a House in Multiple Occupation Licence

Your House in multiple occupation (HMO) Licence needs to be renewed every five years.

You will be sent a notification from the council two months before your HMO Licence is due to expire. Once this is received, you should make sure you submit your HMO licence renewal at least one month before your HMO licence is due to expire, to allow us enough time to process you application before the current licence expires. 

To apply to renew an HMO licence please complete the Application to renew a licence for a house in multiple occupation (HMO)
