From this point on, landlords will have to be authorized by their local housing authority before renting out homes that are not within the bedroom limit provided by the MHCLG. The MHCLG is now releasing new standards that landlords must abide by both legally and from an overall coverage standpoint. The standards are specifically geared to HMO companies, and coverage may be halted if a landlord does not meet these new restrictions when renting out to potential tenants.
Key Takeaways:
- Landlords will now not be able to rent units out with a small number of bedrooms to large groups of tenants.
- The MHCLG has put this in place for both the protection of tenants, as well as the importance of honest coverage.
- The plan also sets disposal guidelines when it comes to landlords ridding the premises of any garbage within their property’s perimeter.
“”The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) yesterday published a new set of guidelines for landlords on the legislative changes for HMOs and also for selective licensing.””
