Report a problem with a House in Multiple Occupation

If you are a tenant and wish to report a problem with your HMO you must: 

1. Have first raised the matter with your landlord in writing and given them the opportunity to respond/react. This is to protect your tenancy should enforcement action need to be taken against your landlord in the future.
2. Have your Landlord/Managing agents contact details to give to the operator
3. Have a full description of the problems you have
4. See the How to report a problem with a HMO section below

If you have a complaint or concern about a HMO, but you don’t live in the property, please:

• Provide as much information as you can about the property
• Respect the fact that officers do not have the right to enter a property without being invited in by a tenant. As a result of this the officer may not be able to confirm your allegations immediately.
• Accept that it may take time for officers to investigate complaints about HMOs
