Which rules apply in Motherwell?
Here is what usually applies to a Motherwell job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.

- Every HMO needs a council licence: 3 or more people who are not all from one or two families, sharing basic amenities. Licences last up to 3 years.
- Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 3 years.
