Property licensing in Yorkshire and the Humber

6 of the 8 councils we track in Yorkshire and the Humber operate a selective or additional HMO licensing scheme — 75%. Mandatory HMO licensing applies in every one of them regardless, wherever a property is let to five or more people forming two or more households. A licence from one council never covers a property in another.

The rest of Yorkshire and the Humber

No discretionary scheme is established for these councils. That means either the council has confirmed it operates none, or we have not established a position — each page says which. It never means a licence is definitely not needed: mandatory HMO licensing still applies, and a council can designate at any time.
