Which rules apply in Carluke?
Here is what usually applies to a Carluke job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.
- 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.
- Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
- Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 3 years.
