Overview
Coventry runs mandatory HMO licensing with additional licensing in areas of concentrated shared housing near the universities.
Licensing
Additional licensing can pull three and four person shares into scope, so count occupiers rather than assuming the mandatory threshold.
Article 4
Parts of the city are covered by Article 4 directions removing permitted development rights for small HMOs.
Demand
Two universities plus manufacturing and logistics employment support both student shares and family lets.
Councils covered
Local rules change frequently. Always confirm licensing designations and fees with the council for the exact address before letting. This guide is general information, not legal advice.
