Introduction to HMOs

HMO properties are subject to special requirements

A House in Multiple Occupation is basically a rental property in which there are three or more unrelated tenants sharing the accommodation. This covers a wide spectrum of rental properties from a small property with three friends sharing who are joint signatories to a single tenancy agreement to a large house with many rooms and tenants who are on individual tenancy agreements. A typical example of an HMO is a student house share. A house or flat occupied by only two friends or by a family is not an HMO, regardless of how many bedrooms the property contains. This section explains what you need to do as an HMO owner to comply with legislation.

I joined LANI because I felt I needed more support and information than I had been getting. In attending the General Meetings I have met many other landlords who face the same issues as myself and I have been able to keep myself up to date with the changes taking place.

I joined LANI because it seemed like the most professional body representing landlords in Northern Ireland. I wouldn’t have known about the changes to the landlords rates or saved myself that 15% on all my properties.

I have found my membership very beneficial. I now belong to an organisation that is dedicated to our profession and which knows the laws and legislation that go along with it. They are able to keep us up to date with impending changes and represent the Private Landlord at many levels of Government.

The advice line is brilliant; whenever I have a problem the office staff takes my enquiry and someone gets back to me with the most up-to-date information.

KR, Portadown

I just wanted to reach out and thank you for last nights get together which was highly informative. Without LANI, landlords quite simply are silenced and the work which you and all the team do is very gratefully appreciated by me.
