HMO rules in North Northamptonshire Council

Rule	North Northamptonshire Council
Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	None found
Selective licensing	None found
Article 4 direction for small HMOs	In part of the area Kingswood ward in Corby only, since 24 April 2024

Checked October 2026 against North Northamptonshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only, not Kettering, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in North Northamptonshire Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

What landlords in Kettering ask us

What do tenants pay you?

Tenants don't pay us letting fees. Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, only certain payments such as rent and a capped deposit can be charged. Our fees page sets this out.

What is HMO guaranteed rent?

A company leases the whole house for a fixed monthly rent and lets the rooms itself. A company let is governed by the lease terms rather than the assured tenancy rules, and owners can still be exposed if the operator breaks licensing rules, so have the lease checked by your own solicitor.

How do you find tenants for rooms in Kettering?

We advertise each room, carry out viewings, reference applicants and handle move-in, with rooms let under the tenancy rules in force at the time.

Do you manage HMOs across Kettering?

Yes. We manage shared houses in Kettering and across Northamptonshire, from letting individual rooms to rent collection, repairs and licence compliance.
