- 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.
- A building warrant may be needed for a change of use or for installing a fire alarm system; check with the council’s building standards service.

Questions about HMO fire safety upgrades in Mossend
What fire safety does an HMO legally need?
The law asks for the house to be reasonably safe, with suitable fire precautions for its size and layout. The detail usually comes from a fire risk assessment and council guidance, so the right answer for a three-storey seven-bed house is very different from a two-storey three-bed one.
