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.
