Which rules apply in Renfrew?

Professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Renfrew must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:

Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 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.
The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.

Questions about professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Renfrew

Do kitchenettes in rooms change the fire requirements?

Often, yes. Cooking in bedrooms usually means a heat detector in the room and a higher standard of fire separation. We plan it with the fire risk assessment and council standards.

All of them, including G14 and PA4, and the surrounding parts of Renfrewshire.

Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Renfrew?

With the local council for the address. 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.
