The tenancy deposit rules have changed yet again. Tessa explains this, and how the new rules work, in her review of legal changes over the past year, at the recent Cambridge Conference.
David Smith talking about HMOs
As it is likely that HMO licensing will be expanded, we have included all David's conference talks on HMOs. Many properties are actually HMO properties without the landlord ever being aware of this - but you need to know about this AND about the HMO regulations if you are to avoid prosecution.
Here we have 5 minutes from Davids Conference talk in 2015.
Check out the course content:
The course is divided into four parts as follows:
-

Videos - Law & Updates

David Smith on HMOs

HMO Legal Basics
This is a detailed guide, originally published on the Landlord Law Blog, on HMO law and practice, written by David Smith and Tessa Shepperson
Focus on HMO Content:
David Cameron has indicated that HMO licensing is to be expanded and that they will be consulting on a new definition of a licensable HMO. This will almost certainly increase the number of properties which will need to obtain a license.
It is therefore vitally important that you understand the HMO Regulations, and in particular, when a property is an HMO and when it is not.
Often people mistakenly think that because their property does not need a license, it is not an HMO. This is totally wrong.
If you let to three or more people sharing, who are not family, it is almost certain that YOUR property will be an HMO (whether you are aware of this or not), meaning that you will need to comply with the regulations. Or risk prosecution and a heavy fine.
This is why we have included ALL David Smiths HMO talks in this course and the HMO Basics blog series. Even if you do not intend to rent HMOs - this material will help you find out how to avoid your property acquiring HMO status.
