HMO rules for Maesteg
- Room sizes and amenity ratios are set by each council: England’s national room sizes do not apply.
- Mains-powered interlinked smoke alarms on every storey, CO alarms where needed, and an electrical test at least every 5 years.
- Mandatory licence for HMOs of 3 or more storeys with 5 or more people in 2 or more households; councils add additional licensing.
Welsh councils set their own HMO standards and may run additional licensing. In Wales, changing a house to a C4 HMO always needs planning permission, so check planning first.
