HMO rules for Inverness
- Awaab’s Law applies to most private tenancies from 6 October 2026, with set timescales for damp and mould.
- Every HMO needs a council licence: 3 or more people not from one or two families, sharing a toilet, washing or cooking facilities.
- No C4 use class: up to 5 residents can fall within Class 9 (houses), and HMO planning policy is set by each council.
Scottish councils set their own HMO licence standards and planning policies. Every HMO needs a licence, so check the council’s standards before you design the layout.
