What is HMO

A house in multiple occupation (HMO) is a property rented out by at least three people who are not from one ‘household’ (for example, a family) and who share facilities like the kitchen and bathroom.

The number of bedrooms can vary, but must have at least two if it is let to five or more people. If the property has only one bedroom, it can only be let to two people. These types of properties are subject to special regulations that aim to ensure they are safe and well-managed. These regulations include requirements for things like fire safety, the provision of washing facilities, and the provision of basic amenities like an oven or cooker.

Most properties like this tend to be rented out by students or young professionals looking for cheaper housing in an urban area. However, there has been a growing trend towards professional families living in HMOs as well, as these properties offer more space and privacy than traditional rental apartments.
