A discount has been applied to the invoice for a HMO licence if, at the time of issuing the invoice, the applicant for the HMO licence owns the property and is a confirmed member of the Leeds Landlords’ Accreditation Scheme (as administered by RLASS Ltd) and/or a full, not just advertising member of the UNIPOL Code of Standards. The accreditation discount to the HMO licence fee will NOT be applied if we issue an invoice and your application to either of the above accreditation schemes is pending. You should note that once you have submitted your HMO licence application in most cases, an invoice is issued immediately. We will not retrospectively apply the accreditation discount to an existing invoice and there is no ‘proxy’ entitlement to the accreditation discount by virtue of an ‘association’ between a none accredited and an accredited member. Accreditation discounts will not be available to landlords where it appears that a timely application has not been made to the council.
There is also a discount if you are a member of the UNIPOL Code of Standards. If you only use UNIPOL to advertise your property you will have to pay the full amount.
If we receive a request to alter a licence there will be an additional charge of £100 per change. Multiple variations may be eligible for a discount depending on the nature and complexity of the request.
We will charge £150 for any application we receive from a landlord who wants to ‘buy’ the unexpired term of an existing licence. This can arise if you have bought a licensed property, from an existing licence holder, and you want to apply for a new HMO licence in your own name.
