Which rules apply in Dunfermline?

Here is what usually applies to a Dunfermline job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.

Every HMO needs a council licence: 3 or more people who are not all from one or two families, sharing basic amenities. Licences last up to 3 years.
Room sizes are set by each council; East Lothian, for example, uses 6.5 m² for a single room with a shared lounge and kitchen, and 10 m² without.
Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
