PERSON MANAGING HMO

June 26th, 2025 by James Goudie KC

A “ person managing “a house in multiple occupation within the meaning of Section 263 of the Housing Act 2004 is subject to statutory duties in relation to licensing and management, and may be exposed to the risk of sanctions. CETIN v EPPING FOREST DC (2025) UKUT 196 (LC) considers the interpretation of the expression, and rules that it does NOT include a residential letting agent who was instructed on a “ let only “ basis to let a room in an HMO, and who had no further involvement with the property after receiving a single instalment of rent on the day of the letting.
