Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Anyone know the grounds for opposing an HMO licence application?
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.
