Reply to the comment left by "John " at "02/07/2017 - 14:13": I agree we should get together on this but not sure how to do this. Additionally, the other aspect for landlords trying to let a 4 bed house...

Reply to the comment left by "John " at "02/07/2017 - 14:13": Why is licensing irrelevant? There are three types of licence in Newham -Selective license(family) -Additional HMO license (3 or more unrelated sharers in two storey house) -HMO license...

I'm not sure, but I think a nanny or live-in au pair counts as the same family. You've probably understood by now that for a selective license everyone has to be in some way related to each other, otherwise you...

Reply to the comment left by "Trendo " at "16/02/2017 - 03:29": Clear now thanks- but rooms are let on separate ASTs, can LL use a spare room himself for occasional overnight stays eg when doing repairs?

Completely off Jenny's original point, I was just wondering how tenants on individual ASTs in say a four bed house, sharing facilities /kitchen /bathroom, split their bills? Individual meters for heating etc?

Really? I must have missed something- didn't know you could let a house on an AST & then claim a spare room as your own to let short term when you feel like it- I'd have been my tenants' temporary...

Well I wouldn't want accreditation if it meant I'd have the council wanting me to accept eleven people to suffer overcrowding and put enormous strain on the property. Luckily I have a family of four there for now and they...

Reply to the comment left by "Rob Crawford" at "25/11/2016 - 18:51": Thank you Rob- I'll check with the council first. According to the link below both NLA & RLA are recognised by london boroughs (or RLAAS & NLAS). https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/housing-and-land/renting/london-rental-standard/get-accredited-five-easy-steps...

Reply to the comment left by "Iwona Kowalska" at "15/12/2014 - 13:53": My suggestion about short lets was probably a bit irrelevant to you- & it wasn't intended to confuse you! But if you were interested talk to some good...

Reply to the comment left by "Puzzler " at "13/12/2014 - 12:09": Puzzler- lucky you if you don't need an Additional licence for a small HMO. Individual councils have the power to impose additional licencing etc as is the case...

Reply to the comment left by "Mandy Thomson" at "11/12/2014 - 15:24": The 5th option is to short let up to 6months. Landlord pays all bills incl council tax. The council's criteria is that as long as isn't the main...

Reply to the comment left by "Joe Bloggs" at "09/12/2014 - 21:24": Im not really sure what you mean- but I have a spacious 4bed property in newham- (pretty awful council to deal with. Croydon sounds better). I'd been letting...

Reply to the comment left by "Iwona Kowalska" at "09/12/2014 - 10:27": Why don't you find out from the licensing dept? I think the introduction of the article 4 direction means you now have to get planning permission for change...

Reply to the comment left by "Romain " at "08/12/2014 - 19:19": Romain- just wondering- how would giving them separate ASTs make the landlord responsible for paying the council tax? Thought that was just for short lets? And why not...

Iona, I'd always had all unrelated or married tenants individually named on the contract. I believe that makes then jointly responsible for the rent being paid- so if one were to abscond the others would have responsibility to pay the...

Reply to the comment left by "Samuel Raj" at "24/11/2014 - 09:44": Samuel- the problem you may encounter is that even if you get an additional licence for a small HMO, in Newham you need planning permission for change of...
