Which rules apply in Weymouth?

- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
- 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.
