In short: Ealing Council uses property licensing to raise standards in private rentals. Large HMOs need a mandatory licence everywhere in England, and the council can also run additional licensing for smaller HMOs and selective licensing for other rentals in designated areas. Schemes, boundaries and fees change, so check the council's current schemes before letting. Letting without a required licence risks fines and rent repayment orders. Fraser Bond handles licensing for landlords we manage for.
