Oxford
City
Council
The Council already licences 3 storey Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) which have 5 or more tenants.
On the 1st April 2010 the Government announced that it had given councils stronger local powers to introduce licensing schemes for other HMOs.
Oxford City Council would like to introduce citywide licensing for all HMOs which would mean landlords applying to the Council to get a licence for their property.
The Council would then be able to set standards for these properties with regard to their management and safety and would be able to refuse to issue licences to landlords that fail to meet the necessary requirements.
This consultation has now closed.
