Hackney Licensing & Renters' Rights
Since 1 May 2026, most privately rented homes in Hackney need a licence under the council's Selective, Additional HMO or Mandatory HMO schemes. Fines for letting without one can reach £40,000 per offence, and can be issued without warning.
Staying compliant in Hackney
We'll check your licensing position, safety certificates and paperwork before your property goes on the market.
The Renters' Rights Act has also changed how tenancies work, with periodic tenancies and new rules on rent increases and possession.
Frequently asked questions
How much rent could I get for my property?
It depends on the street, condition and size more than the borough average. Ask for a free rental valuation and we'll give you a figure based on current local comparables.
Do I need a licence to let in Hackney?
Most likely, yes. Since May 2026 the majority of private rentals in Hackney fall under one of three licensing schemes. We can check for you.
What's the difference between Tenant Find and Fully Managed?
With Tenant Find we let the property and hand it over to you. With Fully Managed we look after everything day to day: rent, repairs, inspections, deposits and compliance.
Is my money protected?
What if I have a complaint?
