Houseshare
Houseshare is a term used when someone is living in shared accommodation. Living in a property where 3 or more people reside, where at least one of the tenants is unrelated to the others and where facilities are shared, the council will term this type of accommodation as ‘House in Multiple Occupation’ or HMO.
There are specific rules that apply to management of HMO homes and in certain cases a property licence may be required.
Houses or properties typically described as HMO accommodations:
- Some shared houses, flats
- Houses converted to bed sits
- Certain hostels
- Certain guesthouses
- Certain bed and breakfasts and hotels
- Certain houses converted to flats
Houses or properties typically not considered as HMO accommodations:
- House, flat that is occupied by only 2 people
- House, flat with resident landlord and also 2 other occupiers
- Homes converted into self contained flats with appropriate Building Regulations approval, where at least two thirds are owner occupied
- House, flat managed by council or a registered social landlord
- House, flat registered under Care Standards Act 2000
- Accommodation managed by some higher educational
establishments
- Health, police, fire authority based accommodations
Standards of HMO:
The landlord is responsible for repairs and ensuring the property is suitable for multiple tenants for houseshare. If the house required a licence then it would impose conditions to ensure the property is occupied by the number of tenants permitted and no more. The council will come for a perusal of the property facilities to make sure it is being managed adequately.
Even if the property is not licensed by the council, the landlord most definitely must comply with management regulations. The property should be free of any hazards which are likely to impact on health and safety.
All furniture and contents usually have must comply to safety standards and regulations. The landlords will dutifully perform annual checks on gas safety which would issue a certificate. Be reassured that you would be entitled to see the certificate.
Licensing Requirements:
6th April 2006 - It was made compulsory to license shared accommodation of 3 or more storeys that occupies 5 or more people who reside in 2 or more separate households.
More information can be obtained from your local council, as this is acting as a basic guide for those who are interested in searching for, or, those who are interested in offering houseshare facilities for accommodation availability.
