Mandatory HMO
The mandatory HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) regulation applies to any property with five or more people and two or more households that share facilities, regardless of the number of stories. This regulation is mandatory and applies to all properties across England. In essence, if your property meets the criteria of having multiple occupants and shared facilities, then it falls under the mandatory HMO regulation. Compliance with this regulation is essential for landlords to ensure the safety and well-being of their tenants, as well as to avoid any legal implications that may arise from non-compliance. |
Additional HMO
The Additional HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) regulation applies to properties that have been converted into self-contained flats without complying with the Building Regulations Act of 1991, in most boroughs. In some boroughs, this regulation applies to any let property shared by three or more people. It's important for landlords to note that compliance with the Additional HMO regulation is mandatory in certain boroughs and can vary across different regions. This regulation helps ensure that properties meet minimum standards for health, safety, and living conditions, and failure to comply can result in legal consequences. Therefore, it's important for landlords to stay informed and comply with all relevant regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of their tenants. |
Selective
Selective licensing applies to privately rented single-family properties, including those that are not shared, in several London boroughs, including Bexley, Barking and Dagenham, Brent, Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackeny, Haringey, Harrow, Harvering, Hammersmith & Fulham, Islington, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, and Waltham Forest. Landlords operating in these areas should take note of the selective licensing regulation, which requires them to apply for a license for each property they own and meet certain standards for property management. Failure to comply with this regulation can result in significant fines and legal consequences. Therefore, landlords in these areas should ensure that they are fully informed of the selective licensing requirements and have obtained the necessary license to ensure the safety and well-being of their tenants, as well as to avoid any potential legal implications. |
