Guaranteed Rent for Licensed HMOs
We lease existing licensed HMOs on 3–5 year corporate leases and pay you a fixed rent every month, whether every room is let or not.
An HMO can be the highest-earning property in a portfolio and the hardest to run. Every room is its own void risk, the licence conditions and the HMO management regulations have to be met all year round, and the day-to-day calls never stop.
Alali Homes takes all of that on. Our company signs a corporate lease on your licensed HMO for 3 to 5 years and pays you one fixed rent every month for the full term. We manage the property in line with its licence, keep it professionally maintained, and provide dedicated support to the tenants living in it.
What HMO landlords get
One fixed rent for the whole house
No more room-by-room voids. You receive the same agreed rent every month for the length of the lease, occupied or not.
Licence conditions managed
We run the property in line with its HMO licence conditions and the HMO management regulations, and track every certificate renewal.
Full HMO management
Maintenance and repairs coordination, regular inspections, communal-area upkeep and dedicated support for tenants, all handled by us.
One tenant: Alali Homes Ltd
A single corporate lease with one company, one rent payment and one point of contact, instead of a tenancy for every room.
3–5 year security
A long-term lease with the rent, term, break clause and notice periods agreed in writing before you sign.
Returned in agreed condition
The property is professionally maintained throughout and handed back in the condition agreed in the lease, allowing for fair wear and tear.

HMO Guaranteed Rent: common questions
- Do you take on licensed HMOs?
- Yes. Existing licensed HMOs are one of our main areas. We take the property on as it is licensed, manage it in line with the licence conditions and HMO management regulations, and pay you a guaranteed rent for the whole lease.
- Does my HMO need a licence before you take it on?
- We take on existing licensed HMOs. Mandatory HMO licensing applies across England to HMOs with five or more people forming two or more households, and many councils run additional licensing for smaller HMOs. If your property needs a licence, it should be in place, or the application agreed, before the lease starts.
- Who holds the HMO licence during the lease?
- It depends on the property and the council. Who holds the licence and who acts as manager under it are agreed with you in writing before the lease starts, so the licence conditions are always met.
- Is the rent guaranteed even if rooms are empty?
- Yes. You receive one fixed rent for the whole property every month for the full term of the lease. Empty rooms are our risk, not yours.
- How long is the lease on an HMO?
- Our corporate leases run for 3 to 5 years. The term, the rent and any break clause are agreed with you and written into the lease before you commit.
- Who pays for compliance on an HMO?
- As the owner, you remain legally responsible for certain safety certificates. We track every renewal and arrange them where agreed. Any works needed before the lease starts, and who pays for them, are agreed in writing before you sign.
