Landlord Licensing Exemptions
Certain buildings cannot be defined as Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) irrespective of whether they meet the new definitions as described under the Housing Act 2004. These buildings will be exempt from Landlord Licensing.
These are :
- Buildings managed by a Local Housing Authority, Registered Social Landlord, Police, Fire or Health authority.
- Buildings whose occupation is regulated by other Acts
- Buildings occupied by students and managed by the educational establishment in question, on condition that the body has in place an Approved Code of Practice
- Buildings occupied by religious communities
- Buildings predominantly owner occupied, including resident landlords where the owner occupier (and members of his family) occupies the building (or flat) with no more than two other persons
- Children's homes
- Care homes
- Residential family centres
- Boarding schools and colleges
- Approved bail hostels, probation hostels, removal centres, prisons, remand centres, young offender institutions, secure training centres and accommodation centres for destitute asylum seekers
