The document summarizes changes to the licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the UK. It discusses that over 600 licenses have been issued but some have been revoked. The application process now involves inspecting properties before issuing licenses. Licenses cannot be transferred to new owners who must apply for a new license. License details like layouts and occupancy can be varied. Owners must update contact records annually and ensure properties meet management regulations. Changes to planning regulations require further guidance and future changes may include online applications, national fees, and landlord registration.
