Brent Council is consulting on proposals to introduce additional licensing for privately rented properties, particularly Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).

Why It Matters:

• Over 7,100 HMOs identified across Brent.
• 27% contain serious housing hazards—twice the national average.
• 2,366 incidents of anti-social behaviour linked to HMOs in recent years.
• Poorly managed properties contribute to wider community issues.

Brent Council wants your views to help ensure safer, better-managed housing and to tackle anti-social behaviour.
