HMO’s
| Infosheet
Letting Agents and Landlords renting to multiple tenants should be aware of Housing in Multiple Occupation (HMO) regulations to prevent fines or penalties. HMO’s, where three or more tenants from different households share communal spaces, must have a mandatory licence if there are five or more tenants. Local licensing conditions may also apply. Failure to comply can result in significant fines, rent repayment orders, or even a ban on renting. For further details on HMO licensing and compliance, download our infosheet.
