Landlord licensing in East London

Checked 2 October 2026

Everywhere in England, a shared home with five or more people from two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. On top of that, each council decides its own additional HMO and selective licensing, so the rules change from one borough to the next. Licensing is the landlord's responsibility, and each council's own page is the final word.
