If any of this information has not been provided, it will cause a delay in your application
If a renewal application is received after expiry of the previous licence, then the application will be treated as refused and a new licence application will need to be submitted, along with the appropriate fee.
The cost of renewing your licence will be the same as an initial HMO licence application.
It is the licence holder’s responsibility to submit a renewal application at the appropriate time. The council may send reminders prior to the expiry of any current licence, but these should not be relied upon to prompt a timely application.
