Two tenancy agreements

[ienquiry]

Need some advise. I’m thinking of renting a 2 bedroom apartment to two individuals. I have one interested tenant and I would be advertising to let the other out as soon as possible. The question is, is there anyway I can ensure that I can show the second potential tenant to the apartment after the first one has already moved in?
Also, do I need to register for a HMO license, the apartment building is 6 floors, if so, what is the process for registering.

Thanks in advance

Without a full description I couldn't tell you if it's a HMO - but there's no need to expand on this, as the local authority will tell you so contact them.

If it's a two bedroomed appartment then advertise for two sharers on one agreement. Don't mess about with separate agreements as it's fraught with dangers, too numerous to mention. For a start you can't adequately assess dilapidations if one moves out before the other.
