Making a complaint about rented accommodation

Licensing of private rented accommodation

Some houses in multiple occupation require a licence from the Council to operate and a Council may make an Order requiring any privately rented property within an area of the city to be licensed with the Council.

The Council keeps a public register of all licences issued. If you wish to know if a house is licensed please contact HMO Licensing.

We have recently consulted on proposals relating to Selective Licensing in certain wards, which will require all privately rented properties within the designated area to be licensed; and Additional Licensing across the city, which will require all HMOs with fewer than five persons to be licensed. The consultation has now closed, but you can read the details of the proposals at www.coventry.gov.uk/propertylicensing.
