• Fire safety in houses in multiple occupation

  www.doncaster.gov.uk/services/housing/fire-safety-in-houses-in-multiple-occupation

  Houses in multiple occupation are those which are shared by three or more unrelated persons. Historically fires in HMOs have been more prevalent than in single homes. Larger HMOs will required a licence from the Council, however different laws apply to all HMOs in relation to fire safety. A higher standard of fire precaution and protection is required in houses of multiple occupation compared to that of a single occupied dwelling. The exact measures depend on the property size, layout and type of letting.
