You asked about: List of licensed HMOs in the borough

The Housing Act 2004 requires council 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 of the 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 8547 5003 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 8547 5003 to arrange payment
and on receipt of payment a copy of the register will be sent to you. 
The register does not contain contact telephone number 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
Further information

If you are interested in the data that the council holds, we recommend
that you take a look at Kingston Council’s Open data initiative. We now
have a wide range of data about the borough available for public use all
available in one place: https://data.kingston.gov.uk
