Get advice if you are worried about problems in shared housing. If your property is a HMO, the council’s HMO unit may be able to help you.
The council can take formal action against a landlord of a HMO if:
- The property should be licensed and is not;
- There are hazards in the property;
- The property is overcrowded;
- People living in or visiting the property are behaving anti-socially.
