- HMO licence conditions require a satisfactory EICR at least every 5 years.
- A licence is needed where 3 or more people forming more than two households live as their main home and pay rent; the NI HMO Unit at Belfast City Council licenses for every council.
- Licences usually last 5 years, and landlords must also register with the NI landlord registration scheme.
