About Kamma

Property licensing data, checked address by address.

Kamma is the NRLA's licensing partner. As an NRLA member you can check whether your rental property needs a licence, keep track of the licensing rules for up to 16 properties free of charge, and hand the licence application to Kamma's applications team when you need one.

More than 500 property licensing schemes are in force across the UK, and each council sets its own boundaries, often street by street. Kamma maps every scheme at boundary level and links it to individual residential addresses, so the answer applies to the property you actually let. Over 440,000 rental properties are monitored on the Kamma platform today.

Letting a property without a licence it needs is a criminal offence. Councils can:

  • issue civil penalties of up to £40,000 per offence
  • support a tenant's claim for a rent repayment order of up to 24 months' rent
  • seek a banning order preventing you from letting residential property

If a property needs a licence, Kamma's applications team can gather your documents, complete the council's forms and deal with the council through to submission, for selective, additional and mandatory HMO licences. Email [email protected].
