Landlord licensing in Croydon
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 Croydon 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 in 14 wards, where most privately rented homes need a licence, not only shared ones.
Both schemes started on 25 September 2026.
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.
