WHAT IS AN HMO? - (Added April 2006) Under the changes in the Housing Act 2004, if you let a property which is one of the following types it is a House in Multiple Occupation:
You only need a Licence if your property is: made up of three storeys or more AND occupied by five or more people (who make up two or more households.) For example, a landlord letting a three storey house to five students would need a licence for that property. The proposed licence fees in Kirklees for a HMO that needs a licence are:
- Complete application - Property meeting the standards - Where no further works are needed - Members of the Kirklees Landlord and Property Accreditation Scheme - Less £40 for additional property application by the same applicant There is an exemption period for those landlords that do not wish to deal with further Government bureaucracy and want to get out of renting HMO's. If you wish to sell your property then please contact us here.
