Introduction
Running a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) property comes with serious responsibilities—none more important than fire safety compliance. As an HMO landlord, ensuring that your property meets current fire safety regulations isn’t just about legal obligations; it’s about protecting lives.
Understanding Fire Safety Regulations
In the UK, HMOs are subject to strict fire safety laws. These include requirements for fire alarms, smoke detectors, escape routes, and regular fire risk assessments (FRAs). Non-compliance can result in fines, legal action, or even criminal charges if a fire incident occurs.
