Decision details

To outline the reasons for the proposed changes to the HMO Standards, the report will also confirm the actual changes made and any expected impact on the local community.  

That the amendments made to the HMO Standards which are outlined fully in the report are accepted.

This will allow both the Private Housing Standards team and Sheffield landlords to more easily instruct and carry out necessary improvement works to licensed properties across the City.

The previous version of the HMO Standards is outdated and in places provides incorrect guidance and therefore must be updated.

There are no alternative options to updating the departments HMO Standards document.
