About Tuxa
Tuxa helps UK landlords and letting agents instantly check whether a property requires a selective or additional rental licence — saving time, reducing risk, and keeping you compliant.
Our Mission
Rental licensing in the UK is complex and ever-changing. Councils introduce new selective licensing schemes, extend existing ones, and change their boundaries — often with little fanfare. Missing a licensing requirement can result in fines of up to £30,000 and the inability to serve a valid Section 21 notice.
Tuxa was built to make compliance straightforward. We aggregate licensing data from all 361 UK councils into a single, searchable platform so landlords can check any property address in seconds.
How It Works

Enter any UK address or postcode. Our Google Maps-powered autocomplete finds the exact property in seconds.
Get Instant Results

Monitor for Changes
Save properties to your portfolio and receive email alerts whenever a council introduces, extends, or removes a licensing scheme.
What We Check
Tuxa covers the three main types of rental licensing in England and Wales.
Selective Licensing
Applies to all privately rented properties in a designated area, regardless of the number of occupants. Introduced by councils to improve property standards and management in specific areas.
Additional Licensing
Extends mandatory HMO licensing to smaller Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) — typically those with 3 or 4 occupants — in areas where councils deem it necessary.
Mandatory HMO
Required by law for any HMO with 5 or more occupants forming 2 or more households. Applies nationally — no council designation required.
