What would happen to my tenants if I decided to convert an HMO into a single dwelling or reduce the number of occupants to below the licensing threshold?
You may not unlawfully evict your current tenants in order to avoid licensing or return the property to a single dwelling. If you attempt to do so, then you may no longer be considered a ‘fit and proper person’ and not entiltled to hold a licence. In these cases the Council may apply for a management order to take over management of your property. You may reduce numbers through natural decline provided that your HMO is not one which requires planning permission.
