The Law of Houses in Multiple Occupation (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

HMO law has become a hot topic in recent years with Council's licensing powers increasing evermore, the burden of the management regulations and the new regime of civil penalties for HMO breaches. In addition, defining what is and isn't an HMO is no easy topic. Having an HMO might increase rents but can also increase the risk of Local Authority prosecutions for both landlords and managing agents.

This easily digested book is written primarily for lawyers but with professional investors and managing agents in mind as it goes through issues found in practice, the current state of the law and potential arguments in cases.

Of the making of HMO law there is no end.
