In Cheshunt, a town of around 45,000 people in Hertfordshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Cheshunt?

- Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
