Help With HMO Compliance Inspections

HMO landlords subject to much more scrutiny

If you are the landlord of an HMO then you are subject to much more regulation and scrutiny than most other landlords.

The regulations governing how an HMO should be run are complex and ever changing. Different local authorities have different approaches to HMO management compliance. Many local authorities take a particularly hard line with enforcement in this type of property.

Local authorities can carry out HMO management compliance checks at any time: These can occur when you apply for a licence or renewal, as a result of a complaint or just as part of a proactive inspection regime.  

The risks of getting it wrong

The penalties for not complying with the terms of an HMO licence (or not having a licence when you need) one can be high: Local authorities can impose civil penalties, take legal action and obtain landlord bans. Tenants may be able to obtain a rent repayment order.

Breaches of HMO management regulations can result in a £30,000 civil penalty or potentially an unlimited fine.
