Landlord licensing in Tower Hamlets

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 Tower Hamlets 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.

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

Selective licensing in Whitechapel, Weavers and Spitalfields ended on 30 September 2026; no new scheme has been announced.

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.
