HMO licensing conditions and housing standards
To run a licensed HMO, you must make sure that:
- the house is safe and suitable for the number of occupants – this depends on its size and facilities
- the manager of the house is considered ‘fit and proper' – for example, they have no criminal record or breach of landlord laws or code of practice
- you provide us with the requested documents – go to apply for or renew a HMO licence
We may add other conditions to your licence, for example improving the standard of your facilities.
