In Fulham, a town of around 85,000 people in Greater London, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
