Landlords in East Marsh, Grimsby, are reminded to apply for a licence now that North East Lincolnshire Council’s Selective Licensing Scheme is in force (8 April 2026 – 7 April 2031).
All private rented properties in the designated area must be licensed to ensure homes are safe, well managed and meet legal standards. Check the map here: Selective Licensing | NELC
To support landlords, one-to-one sessions will be held at Grimsby Town Hall on 26 May 2026. These pre-booked 30-minute appointments will help applicants set up accounts, upload property details and submit their licence application.
Spaces can be booked online via Eventbrite. : https://one-to-one-north-east-lincs-council-licensing-support-sessions.eventbrite.co.uk
Attendees must bring electronic copies of required documents, including proof of identity, proof of address, ownership details, safety certificates and a bank card to pay the first part of the licence fee.
The council is working with Home Safe, a specialist company that manages licensing schemes for local authorities. All landlords must apply online through Home Safe here: North East Lincolnshire Council Selective Licensing | Home Safe Scheme
Applying is essential as renting out a property without a licence can lead to fines of up to £30,000 or an unlimited court fine, and repayment of up to 12 months’ rent.
