Landlord licensing in Islington
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 Islington 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 Finsbury Park, Tollington and Hillrise wards, where most privately rented homes need a licence, not only shared ones.
Selective licensing extends to seven more wards (Barnsbury, Caledonian, Highbury, Junction, Laycock, Mildmay and Tufnell Park) from 23 November 2026. Landlords can apply now; applications opened on 7 September 2026.
Check the council's licensing page
Checked 3 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.
