This online training course identifies some of the critical differences between managing HMO and single lets.
In recent years we have seen a rise in HMO in both the private and social sectors – it offers an affordable housing solution for many. When provided by social landlords, it may also be in tandem with support packages. Managing HMO comes with increased regulation, both in terms of the property standards and the management functions.
What will I learn?
From this online training course, you'll learn:
- Understand the definition of HMO and licensing requirements
- Understand HMO Management Regulations and the additional layer of obligations placed on landlords
- Understand amenity standards, minimum room sizes and licence conditions
- Know the additional fire safety requirements of HMO
- Explore some of the management issues with HMO and how to overcome them.
Who should attend?
This course is beneficial for Housing Associations, Housing cooperatives, Charities and other organisations that use shared housing as part of their housing provision.
