HMO rules for Hertford
- Planning: 3–6 sharers is use class C4, usually permitted development from a family house unless an Article 4 direction applies; 7 or more normally needs permission.
- Mandatory licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households; councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS guide is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
