Labour Politician Criticises HMO Expansion

A Labour politician has described HMOs as “state financed cash for investors”. According to Landlord Today, both Labour and reform councils are outspoken against the expansion of HMOs.

This development may be relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring local authority attitudes towards HMO licensing and regulation. The stance of these councils could influence future policy and operational requirements for HMO management.
