Landlord licensing in Kingston upon Thames

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.

There is no additional HMO licensing scheme in force, so smaller shared homes do not need a licence of their own.

There is no selective licensing scheme, so a home let to a single household does not need a council licence.

The previous additional scheme ended in February 2023.

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.
