Which council please??

Lambeth. I called like I was a landlord seeking for information and maybe that was the reason they said that it is mandatory. They explained that despite of the fact that it is just one storey the licence become mandatory since there are more than 5 persons in 4 differents rooms.

Amanda clearly I may well be wrong but looking at Lambeth's website it has no mention of selective licensing see..
http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/Services/HousingPlanning/PrivateHousing/AdviceForLandlords/LicensingHMO.htm
- so either whoever you spoke to didn't know what he was talking about or (no offence..) you misunderstood what was said.

As I said I may be wrong..

If a HMO licence IS needed complain in writing to council as (ultimately) council can recover rent paid from landlord when he should have had HMO licence.. but I kinda doubt that applies here. But for example..

However even though it/he may not need a HMO license it/he would still have to comply with HMO regulations which may be what Lambeth were getting at, and it would be a "HMO".

Perhaps more welcome - is this your landlord?? (You can work out what he said his email ID is btw...)

hang on,
Surely we are missing the actual point – landlord wants you to move out.

Why don’t you do just that?

To be fair to him – I would have just given you a straight two months notice period rather than messing about.

He may or may not be required to be licensed, but I very much doubt he would not as his buildings insurance would be void for a start.

Move out Amanda, you are becoming too obsessive over this, not a good idea close to exams, you need to concentrate on them.

As soon as I finish my exam (end of June) I will intensively look for another accommodation. I am just worried with Accelerated Possession Claim that can been proceed while I will still doing my examinations.

So do the details of the other occupants in the property:

"There are a couple having a room, two brothers sharing a room, the tenant involved having his room and equally another tenant having his own room.They are all sharing bathroom, toilet and kitchen.
I do not live at the address."

I think the poster Edouard over there is almost certainly the OP's landlord.

And Edouard has been pointed at this thread, so be careful what you say!

Exactly what are you looking for?

If it's to stay until after the exams, why not agree a moving date with the landlord?

Either way, the landlord wants the room back, so why not compromise with him?

Because he does not want any compromise and presently I am trying to focus on my exam and trainee. The time to finish my exam and search by myself another accommodation can certainly take two months.

Is the OP male or female.....?
