What is a temporary exemption notice?

Temporary Exemption Notices (TEN) are notices which temporarily exempt a licensable property from requiring a licence. These can be issued by the council if they are satisfied that the person required to be the licence holder proposes to take steps necessary to ensure the property no longer requires a licence, for example, if tenants are leaving or the property is being sold.
