Under certain circumstances, the Tamworth Borough Council can issue a Temporary Exemption Notice where a person having control of or managing a house in multiple occupation (HMO) that requires a licence under Part 2 of the Housing Act 2004 (OPSI website) notifies Tamworth Borough Council of their intention to take steps with a view to securing that the house no longer requires to be licensed. 

The TEN exempts that property from being licensed for a period of 3 months (from the date the Notice is served). In exceptional circumstances, Tamworth Borough Council may serve a second TEN that lasts a further 3 months and that takes effect when the first TEN ends. No further TENs can be served after the expiry of the second TEN.
 
The Private Housing Enforcement Team will not use these notices routinely, and therefore, a second notice will only be used in exceptional and unforeseen circumstances agreed by the Assistant Director of Housing.

More information on Temporary Exemption Notices is given in the Department for Communities and Local Government booklet "Licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation in England - A Guide for Landlords and Managers" (pdf).
