What are the standards?
Your landlord is responsible for making sure your home is kept in repair and is suitable for multiple tenants. If your home has to be licensed the local housing authority can impose conditions to ensure that the property is occupied by no more than the permitted number of persons. Your council will also check the facilities and ensure that the property is properly managed.
Whether or not the HMO in which you live is licensed by the council, your landlord must comply with management regulations. Your home should be also be free of any hazards likely to seriously impact upon your health and safety. If you think there is a hazard in your home you should contact the council.
In all rented properties utilities, like gas, must comply with safety regulations and all furniture should pass fire safety standards. The landlord has a duty to ensure that a gas safety check is performed annually and a certificate issued. You are entitled to see the certificate.
