Landlord licensing in Westminster

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 City of Westminster 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 15 wards, where most privately rented homes need a licence, not only shared ones.

A renewed additional scheme started on 31 August 2026.

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.
