Cardiff consultation for additional HMO licensing

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

With hope to improve accommodation standards and better management of properties, Cardiff Council has proposed to consult on an additional HMO licensing scheme in the Plasnewydd and Gabalfa wards.

This additional licensing will extend the license requirement to include properties with two or more storeys and three or more occupiers. All affected properties will be identified, inspected and have consistent standards. Those controlling or managing an HMO in these areas would need to apply for a licence and should seek advice from Cardiff Council’s Regulatory Service, Private Sector Housing Team.

Email privatesectorhousing@cardiff.gov.uk to be contacted when the consultation is underway.
