Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)

If we inspect you HMO and find there is no prospect of it being licenced we may issue an Interim Management Order (IMO) which allows the Council to take on the management of the property for up to 12 months. Alternatively, we may issue a Temporary Exemption Notice (TEN) which allows 3 months for the property to be taken out of use as a licensable HMO or for the basic requirements to be achieved.
