The Government has announced that it will be seeking
Parliament’s approval on regulations to
extend the scope of mandatory HMO licensing:
·
It will apply where certain HMOs are occupied by
five persons or more in two or more households
·
This includes any HMO where such householders
lack or share basic amenities such as a toilet, personal washing or cooking
facilities.
·
It also applies to purpose built flats where
there are up to two flats in the block and one or both are occupied as an HMO.
·
The new rules will be introduced in two phases.
Most likely, the regulations will come into force in April 2018.
