Licensing for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO).

Temporary Exemption Notice (TEN) - MHMO only

A Temporary Exemption Notice (TEN) for a Mandatory House in Multiple Occupation (MHMO) pauses the need for a property licence. This is temporary and can only last for 3 months.

To qualify, the property owner must notify us that they are making a change to how the MHMO is occupied. For example:

  • applying for planning permission to convert the property into a single-family house
  • putting the property up for sale

In rare circumstances, we may be able to extend a TEN for a further 3 months. After this, the property must be licensed.
