HMO licensing

Important HMO licensing changes

If you're a landlord of an HMO in Portsmouth you need to act soon to stay legal and avoid a fine.

From 1 September 2023, Portsmouth City Council is introducing additional licensing, meaning that HMOs occupied by three or four tenants will need to be licensed.

Apparently they run workshops for landlords. Why? Just spend that money on a EHO to manage the problems.

Why? because it means the council can demonstrate opportunities were provided to landlords to know what they had to do.

Hence they had no excuse not to do it and so the prosecution and the fine is valid....

People in hmos will be harvested for council tax individualy and landlords are low hanging fruit for a reaming via the tax man. Hell think how funny it would be if the landlord got billed for council tax for an empty room. Because in theory it’s the same has an empty property which they can bill you for
