- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
- Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.

- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
