Hmo
Glossary
HMO
A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a UK rental property let to three or more tenants from two or more households who share kitchen, bathroom, or toilet facilities.
A mandatory HMO licence is required from the local authority when the property is let to five or more people forming more than one household. Some councils operate Additional HMO Licensing schemes covering smaller HMOs, and Selective Licensing schemes covering all rented properties in defined areas. The licensing regime imposes minimum standards for fire safety, room sizes, and management — failure to licence is a criminal offence with unlimited fines.
