Advice on TV License in "all bills included" house

lucifersangel87

Right... off to pay for a TV license then. *sigh*

rpc, The tenancy agreement states that i'm locked in for the first 3 months, which are now up.. I am now on a rolling 1 month contract.

The better half wants a flat to ourselves now anyway, so I think it's time to start considering the move!

Contact the council about the HMO. Someone here on MSE recently said the licensing doesn't cover couples, if that is correct your house is overcrowded which could be dangerous in the event of a fire.

Licensing covers couples. Most reasonable sized rooms can have 2 adults or 2 children per room. That can include what most of us would consider living rooms as well so a typical two up two down terraced property could have potentially 8 occupants even though it's just a 2 bedroom house.

I think the issue is that licencing can cover couples, but the LL licence doesn't necessarily do so. Requirements are presumably more stringent as the number of occupants increases so if the LL only got a licence on the basis of one person per room and then moves a couple in...
