In deciding whether an application for a licence should be granted, the Council must have regard to evidence that shows that the proposed licence holder and manager are fit and proper persons. Not all convictions are relevant to a person’s prospective role as an operator of a rented property. Spent convictions - This is a complex matter and it is recommended you seek independent legal advice. As a general guide, under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, criminal convictions can become spent or ignored after a rehabilitation period and do not need to be disclosed. The rehabilitation period varies depending on the sentence or order imposed by the court, not the nature of the offence. The periods are halved if the conviction took place when aged 17 or less.

Sentence	Period of good conduct needed for conviction to be spent
6 months to 2 years imprisonment	10 years
Less than 6 months imprisonment	7 years
Borstal training	7 years
A Fine or Community Services Order	5 years
Probation Order, Conditional Discharge, or Bound over	1 year
An Absolute discharge	6 months

Custodial sentences of more than two and a half years can never become spent. If you have any doubts as to whether you have to declare a previous conviction, you should contact your solicitor, local probation office or the Citizens’ Advice Bureau.
PLEASE NOTE - IF YOU ARE CONVICTED OF ANY RELEVANT OFFENCE(S) DURING THE LICENCE PERIOD YOU MUST NOTIFY THE COUNCIL IMMEDIATELY.
