Does one TV licence cover all equipment at a single address, even if each room is rented by a different individual in a shared house?

Okay, let's talk about TV licenses in shared houses. The key thing to remember is that a TV license is generally required for each separate household. Now, in a typical family home, one license covers everyone living there, regardless of how many TVs they have. However, a shared house is treated differently. If each tenant has a separate tenancy agreement with the landlord, and they essentially function as individual households, then each tenant needs their own TV license to watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer. Think of it like this: if you're renting a room and are responsible for your own bills, you likely need your own license. The idea is that each independent living space needs to be covered. So, even though it's all under one roof, the TV licensing rules consider each rented room as a separate entity. This prevents one person from paying for everyone else's viewing habits!
