HMO Licensing and Management Checklist
About this document
Houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) carry extra legal duties and some of the highest penalties in the private rented sector. This checklist helps you confirm whether you need a licence, meet licence conditions and the national minimum room sizes, and comply with the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006 day to day.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
