Landlord licensing in Barking and Dagenham

Everywhere in England, a shared house or flat needs a mandatory HMO licence when five or more people from two or more households live there.

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham also runs additional HMO licensing across the borough, which brings smaller shared homes, of three or four people from more than one household, into licensing.

Selective licensing applies across the borough, so most privately rented homes need a licence, not only shared ones.

Check the council's licensing page

Checked 2 October 2026. Licensing is the landlord's responsibility and rules change, so the council's own page is the final word. Emilecon does not apply for licences.
