HMO licence in Leeds: cost, how to check, how to apply
A mandatory HMO licence is needed when five or more people from two or more households share a home.
Cost. The mandatory HMO licence fee is set by the council: Leeds City Council publishes the current fee on its HMO licensing page.
Planning. An Article 4 direction has covered much of the city since 2012, so turning a family home into a small HMO there needs planning permission.
How to check and apply. Apply to Leeds City Council before the first tenancy starts. Leeds City Council HMO licensing.
An agent that collects the rent is legally the person managing the HMO, so Caso checks the licence and the 2006 HMO Management Regulations before taking a property on.
