Hi
I have advert my 3 bed property and got a viewing from a company who use the rented property for supportive accommodation. Working with council for vulnerable people.
Property is ex council house in council estate and he was saying it is not HMO as less than 5 rooms.
what is the best option for me and does it a rented or lease
It sounds like he doesnt understand the law.
not the amount of rooms but WHO is in and their relationship to each other that counts as an HMO
Don’t touch with a bargepole. If they are either ignorant or trying to mislead about what an HMO is, they aren’t the right person to trust your valuable property to
Google ‘landlord fined for not having hmo licence’ to see what you are risking
Good luck
