HMO Compliance Checker

Check the key licensing, safety, management and property standards you should review when operating a House in Multiple Occupation in England.

Important:

This is a practical screening tool, not legal advice. HMO licensing and local standards can vary by council. Always check your local authority's requirements for the property.

1. HMO & licensing

Start by establishing what type of HMO you operate and whether licensing may apply.

2. Safety & fire protection

Review the core safety arrangements and certificates.

3. HMO management & property standards

These checks help identify common areas that require evidence or council-specific confirmation.

4. Tenancy & ongoing management

Check the supporting landlord and tenant records you should keep under your wider private-renting duties.
