AND WE’RE HERE TO HELP
Landlords must adhere to different laws and regulations if they are renting out a house of multiple occupancy rather than renting a property out to a household. This is to ensure that people living within a House of Multiple Occupancy are afforded the same rights as people in rented households with added stipulations relating to shared areas.
This includes things such as the overall condition of the property, how clean the common areas are, the quality of the facilities, and the level of fire safety within the property amongst other things.

Inspections of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) The Council has a proactive inspection programme of HMOs. If conditions in the properties inspected are not up to standard, the landlord or owner is required to improve them.
If your property is let to five or more tenants from more than one household, some or all of the tenants share toilet, bathroom or kitchen facilities and at least one tenant pays rent, then your property will be considered as a large HMO and will need a licence.
A property is likely to be an HMO if its tenants are three or more people living in more than one household, and the tenants share a toilet, bathroom, or kitchen facilities. For the purposes of HMOs, a household is considered to be a single person, or members of the same family living in the same property.
