	Smaller properties rented to fewer people may also need licenses, these may be referred to as additional licenses. In this case councils submit a detailed report to its members, which is then put to consultation. Additional licensing schemes can open the scope of HMO defining criteria to include houses with just two storeys or houses with with three or more shared tenants. If the additional licensing scheme is seen as being justified then it can be applied to the whole of the borough. So landlords should check in all cases with their local authority. Once granted, the license will be valid for five years.		Smaller properties rented to fewer people may also need licenses, these may be referred to as additional licenses.

		+
		+	If HMOs, Additional Licenses or Selective Licenses are in place, certain requirements are made of the landlord, including licensing the property. Where a landlord fails to do this, or if the property is deemed problematic for tenants, then Interim Management Orders (IMO) can be put in place. These give the power to local councils, under the Housing Act 2004, to effectively take over the role of a landlord that is failing to meet standards required. When a management order is in place the council steps into the shoes of the landlord and collects rent from the existing tenants, can use this for upkeep and can even create new tenancies during the life of the order, which is up to 12 months.

		+	Some buildings or activities by their nature require special licenses to be permitted to operate, for example to ensure that health and safety standards are adhered to.
		+
		+	The following is a selective list of some of the licences that may be required. It is important to remember that the governments of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland may differ in their approach to each. Clarification from the local council may be required.

		+	= House in multiple occupation (HMO) licence =
		+
		+	An HMO is generally rented out to at least three people from different households but who share facilities such as bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms etc. In England and Wales, landlords should check with their respective councils to confirm whether a license is needed: a license will be needed if the HMO is large. ‘Large’ is confirmed if all of the following apply:
		+
		+	* Rented to five or more people who form more than one household, and
		+	* Some or all tenants share toilet, bathroom or kitchen facilities, and
		+	* At least one tenant pays rent (or their employer pays it for them).
		+
		+	Smaller properties rented to fewer people may also need licenses so landlords should check in all cases with their local authority. Once granted, the license will be valid for five years.

		+
		+	= Road occupation licence for building work (England and Wales) =
		+
		+	This will be required when a company wants to dig up the road, or alter, add to or remove the services that are in it. Precautions that must be taken include ensuring that any works are properly fenced off and are lit during the hours of darkness. Road occupation licenses are available from local councils.

		+
		+	= Skip licence (skip permit) England and Wales =
		+
		+	A skip is typically a large, deep, heavy metal container for disposing of building materials, rubbish and other unwanted items. A 'hippo bag' can also be used and is made of reinforced material which is relatively light when empty although with a lower capacity than a skip. Both will require a license from the council if they are to be put on a public road, eg outside a house. A licence is not required if the skip/hippo bag is to be situated on a private driveway or other private land.
		+
		+	Safety lights and markings (eg traffic cones) may be required to avoid vehicle collisions at night. If these are omitted, it can lead to a significant fine. Skip licences are often obtained by skip hire companies but in some areas, they will have to be obtained by individuals and small builders.
		+
		+	Precise rules can be obtained from the local council.
