Dear R Reed                    
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST - REF NO - FOIS3873
I refer to your request for information relating to HMO properties
The Housing Act 2004 requires councils to keep a register of all licenses,
temporary exemption notices and management orders of  Houses in Multiple
Occupation (HMO),  The act requires that the contents of the register are
available for inspection by the public at all reasonable times. 
The information required to be held on the register is:
(a) the name and address of the licence holder;
(b) the name and address of the person managing the licensed HMO or house;
(c) the address of the licensed HMO or house;
(d) a short description of the licensed HMO or house;
(e) a summary of the conditions of the licence;
(f) the commencement date and duration of the licence;
(g) summary information of any matter concerning the licensing of the HMO
or house that has been referred to a residential property tribunal or to
the Lands Tribunal; and
(h) summary information of any decision of the tribunals referred to in
sub-paragraph (g) that relate to the licensed HMO or house, together with
the reference number allocated to the case by the tribunal. 
s21 Freedom of Information Act, provides that there is no obligation for
the council to provide information via Freedom of Information if it is
reasonably accessible by other means.  Therefore if you wish to view
the Register of HMO licences, temporary exemption notices and management
orders please contact the council on 020 8770 5000 to arrange a time
during office hours to inspect the register. 
The Housing Act 2004 does allow the council to provide you with a copy of
the register.  There is a fee of £25 for you to receive a PDF copy of
the register. Please telephone the council on 020 8770 5000 to arrange
payment or pay online
at:-  [1]https://www.sutton.gov.uk/info/200466/pa... and on receipt
of payment a copy of the register will be sent to you. 
The register does not contain contact telephone numbers or emails of the
HMO licence holders.  This information is not therefore in the public
domain and is personal data that the Council cannot disclose as it is
exempt under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
If you are unhappy with the way in which your request has been handled you
have the right to ask for an internal review.  Please notify us in writing
as soon as possible with the grounds upon which you feel the appeal is
justified to : [2][email address]  or by post to Customer Care and
Improvement Team, Civic Offices, St Nicholas Way, Sutton, Surrey, SM1 1EA.
