Which rules apply in Enniskillen?
Here is what usually applies to a Enniskillen job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the NI HMO standards and licence conditions have the final detail.
- A licence is needed where 3 or more people forming more than two households live as their main home and pay rent; the NI HMO Unit at Belfast City Council licenses for every council.
- Kitchens, bathrooms and WCs must meet the 2019 living accommodation standard regulations and licence conditions.
- The NIFRS HMO Fire Safety Guide (July 2026) usually expects Grade D1 interlinked detection in smaller shared houses and a Grade A system with more than 6 occupants or over 200 m².
- HMO licence conditions require a satisfactory EICR at least every 5 years.
