Which rules apply in Newry?
Here is what usually applies to a Newry job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the NI HMO standards and licence conditions have the final detail.
- The NIFRS HMO Fire Safety Guide (July 2026) usually expects Grade D1 interlinked detection in smaller shared houses and a Grade A system with more than 6 occupants or over 200 m².
- Licences usually last 5 years, and landlords must also register with the NI landlord registration scheme.
- Doors on protected routes are typically FD30 or FD30S, self-closing on three hinges; emergency lighting is required in HMOs of 4 or more storeys.
