Planning and HMOs

HMO landlords provide low-cost flexible housing desperately needed by society often to vulnerable tenants. However they are rarely given help or support by the authorities and the law is often vigorously enforced against them. Little is said about the damage some tenants cause to property problems with rent arrears and eviction of bad tenants. This book is for the brave souls who dare to provide HMO housing and need a guide to the system. It shows you how to stand up to councils that try to stop you providing good quality HMO accommodation. If you stand up to the planners you will be surprised how rarely they will follow through and how often they will lose. Insights and practical information about planning rules and planning appeals for shared houses and multi-lets by an experienced HMO landlord. HMO Daddy Jim Haliburton is an experienced landlord with over 130 HMOs and 800 tenants. He is author of over 10 books and manuals including How to Become a Multi-Millionaire HMO Landlord.
