Understanding HMOs

Let's start with the basics. HMOs, or Houses in Multiple Occupation, are properties shared by three or more unrelated tenants who share communal facilities. They come in various forms, including small HMOs (3-6 tenants) and large HMOs (7+ tenants). Understanding these classifications is key to navigating licensing requirements.

Importance of Licensing

HMO licensing for landlords is a legal requirement and of paramount importance if you’re looking to enter this field. Obtaining the appropriate license ensures compliance with safety and quality standards set by local authorities.
