Some of the most basic and common requirements for HMOs in general across the UK are detailed below. So, the easiest way of knowing what the exact HMO requirements are specific to your location, is to write to your local council. Just like HMO licensing fees, these requirements tend to vary from one place to another. It must be noted here that these requirements apply to all HMOs, regardless of their size, use class or number of tenants. As is the case with all rental properties, HMOs need to maintain the minimum standards of health, safety and utilities in order to remain operational.
