Which rules apply in Llantwit Major?
Here is what usually applies to a Llantwit Major job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets need a Rent Smart Wales licence.
