To Landlords
Do you operate premises which require a licence?
Landlords who continue to operate HMOs without a licence are committing an offence and render themselves liable to prosecution and a fine of up to £5,000.
Are your premises up to standard, clean and well maintained?
Do they have a legitimised planning status?
Have you:
- upgraded the means of escape?
- addressed gas and electrical safety issues?
- fulfilled your common property responsibilities?
