Landlord licence only allows one tenant?

Landlord licence only allows one tenant?

I recently found out the landlord’s licence restricts one tenant to one of my flats, while my other similar flats in the same building allow for two.

This is after I signed up a 12-month fixed tenancy with a couple!

I received the landlord licences for all the properties in the same block.  However, for the smallest flat (not by much) the licence says it only allows one person in one household, while all others say two people in one household.

I never assumed there was any difference between them, but after finding out I had already signed up a fixed 12-month tenancy with a couple. Would the council hold me as breaching the licence?

What shall I do? I can’t back out of the tenancy now for at least 12 months. Shall I ask or tell the council?

Many thanks

Mike

Dear Mike,
The maximum fine for a breach of Licence is £30,000!
