Which rules apply in Ammanford?
Fire doors in Ammanford must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Mandatory licence for HMOs with 3 or more storeys and 5 or more people in 2 or more households; Wales did not adopt England’s 2018 change.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
- Landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets need a Rent Smart Wales licence.
