In Thornaby-on-Tees, a town of about 22,000 people in North Yorkshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Thornaby-on-Tees?
Licence condition and schedule-of-works in Thornaby-on-Tees must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
- 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.
