How we work with landlords

A house in multiple occupation is a property rented out to at least three people.

They are not from the same household and share areas like the bathroom and kitchen. It is sometimes called a ‘house share’.

Higher standards of safety and management apply than to typical family homes. You may have to apply to us for a licence if you rent out a property as a house in multiple occupation to five or more people.
