There is a TV in the lounge and the landlord pays the licence for that. All tenents have their own agreements and their own rooms.
Does the one licence cover all the TV's in the house?

Unfortunately yes you do need a separate licence if you are in a separate room which is shared, then you need a licence unless it is in a communal room, in which case the property has to be licensed by either the landlord or who ever the licence is given too, so lets Hope that all these people that told you no don't all live in separate rooms..lol

If it is genuinely a shared house and not a bedsit, the licence for the TV in the lounge will cover all of the TVs. However, if it is a bedsit, each room needs their own licence. Sounds like you should be ok then.

My daughter shared a flat with 2 other tennants and they had one licence for the whole flat so yours should be covered by the one the landlord pays for.

The licence should cover the whole house...... when I was at uni there was a rumour that if you had separate rooms that you locked you'd all need a separate one, but that turned out to be rubbish..........for starters what TV inspector is going to come in your house and check your bedroom doors for locks, esp if you already have a licence for the house!!!

If all tenants have their own agreements - and especially if you each have a lock on your own room - then you are classified as separate households, and each household would require a licence.
However, in practice the detector van probably won't come knocking so long as there's a licence in the house, unless it's obviously separate flats.

The license only covers the comunual part of the house, your room is leased to you as a private tennant so you will need your own license.
Same as a block of flats, each flat must have a license.
It is unlikely that the license fee company will know that your house is a shared house so they probably won't check ... your call.

i think the one licence covers the whole house as long as it's not divided into separate dwellings. Your landlord should know the answer to this anyway, you could ask him?
