Residential property licensing for houses in multiple occupation (HMOs)

How we decide to grant an HMO licence

When assessing if we will grant a licence to an HMO we look at:

• Whether the property complies with Lewisham's licensing standards

• The suitability of the landlord or the managing agent to manage the HMO (called the ‘fit and proper test’)

• The general suitability of managing arrangements.
