Landlord licensing in Southwark
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 Southwark 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 most wards, where most privately rented homes need a licence, not only shared ones.
The current additional scheme runs to 28 February 2027.
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.
