Operating an unlicensed HMO? Fix it before the council does.
Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025 (enforcement from 1 May 2026), renting out a licensable HMO without a licence can mean a civil penalty of up to £40,000 per offence, plus a Rent Repayment Order of up to 24 months’ rent. Councils are actively enforcing.
