HMO Landlord Compliance Pack — Licensing, Fire Safety, Room Sizes & House Rules
HMO Landlord Compliance Pack — Licensing, Fire Safety, Room Sizes & House Rules
Fines up to £30,000 per offence for unlicensed HMOs.
Running an HMO brings significantly more regulation than a standard single let. Licensing, management regulations, fire safety, amenity standards, and minimum room sizes. Get any of it wrong: fines up to £30,000, rent repayment orders of up to 12 months' rent, and criminal prosecution.
