TV LIcenses in house share

[letting 10]

TV Licenses do you need one for every tv in the house if you have a house share and each tenant has a tv in their room?

Its got nothing to do with locks on the door. If you rent a room, watch TV in that room and have no relationship with your landlord, you must have a seperate TV licence.

What if the landlord is already paying a tv license for that peoperty

Don't worry about it. As long as the property has one they don't generally hassle you. Technically you should have more that one as mentioned but I think they have enough to do hassling people that don't have any.

Dont bother.

If they knock at the door tell them you only watch Sky.

Even if the landlord is already paying a tv license, you need to buy one.

Even if the landlord supplied the TV, you need to have your own licence.

It sucks, I know, but that's just the way it is!

It's all very well people telling you not to bother, but it's not them who will be landed with a fine...

It doesn't matter if you only watch Sky, ITV, DVDs or pay per view porn. If you have a television or a TV tuner card you have to have a licence.

thats shocking!

one per room in a shared house is extortion... i think it should be the property that has the licence and once it is in place it covers as many tv's within the property as you want. (obviously 1 for each flat in a block of flats though)

The amount of crap that is aired by the bbc, along with the fact that part of my licence fee goes to fund things I cant currently access (digital channels and radio) makes charging for multiple licences a joke.

The beeb did an ad campaign last year reminding students that they needed a tv license or get a fine.
