Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
