In Craigavon, a town of around 60,000 people in County Armagh, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Northern Ireland and the NI HMO standards and licence conditions.

Which rules apply in Craigavon?

- Licences usually last 5 years, and landlords must also register with the NI landlord registration scheme.
