Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Can anyone point me to the legal grounds on which the council can refuse an application for a licence of an HMO? In particular, is the previous character of the applicant relevant?

Under the legislation a person must be a 'fit and proper person':

In determining if a person is fit and proper for the purposes of the Act, the council must take into account:

  • Any previous convictions relating to violence, sexual offences, drugs and fraud

  • Contravention of any law relating to housing or landlord and tenant matters

  • Whether the person has been found guilty of unlawful discrimination

  • Whether the person has contravened any Approved Code of Practice

It is, however, a matter for the council to determine the relevance of these considerations (or other matters it considers to be relevant) in deciding whether or not a person is fit and proper.
