Landlord-Law - information about Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO)

Landlord-Law (www.landlordlaw.co.uk) is an online legal information service for residential landlords and tenants (in England and Wales UK), written by solicitor and author Tessa Shepperson.

Landlords:

Do you let to more than two tenants in the same building who are not family? If so your property may be a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), which means that you have additional legal obligations to comply with. If your property is more than three stories high, you may also have to register with your Local Authority. Find out more with the Landlord-Law information service:
