Mandatory HMO Licensing Changes Happening On 1st October

Changes to mandatory HMO licensing will come into force on the 1st October. The changes will remove the three storey rule. Currently, mandatory licensing applies to HMOs of at least three storeys and five occupants comprising of two or more-family units. The regulations also bring purpose-built flats where there are up to two flats in the block, into the scope of mandatory licensing. Properties will be subject to mandatory licensing if they meet certain criteria, such as the property is occupied by five or more persons. Read more on the NLA website.
