A HMO is a property where at least 3 people live together from more than one family or household and share facilities such as a kitchen or bathroom.
You may need a licence to rent out a property as an HMO, depending on how many people live there and how many households they form.
You need a licence for large HMOs, which are rented to 5 or more unrelated people from different households.

The schemes apply within specific wards in Medway where evidence suggests intervention is needed to raise standards.

We'll publish updated public notices, maps, and dates shortly.
