Coventry City Council's Article 4 direction covers 11 wards across the city, including Earlsdon, Foleshill, Lower and Upper Stoke, Radford, St Michael's and Westwood, so turning a family house in Foleshill into a small HMO needs planning permission. Before we take a house on, we check it has the planning status it needs. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Coventry City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 3 May 2030), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

Questions about HMO maintenance in Foleshill

How do you find tenants for rooms in Foleshill?

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.

Can you take over a house that already has tenants?

Yes. We review the tenancies, licence and certificates at handover and list anything that needs attention before we take on day-to-day management.

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.

Who keeps the HMO licence conditions up to date?

As managing agent we keep the compliance diary: certificates, fire alarm testing records, inspections and anything the licence conditions require.
