Code of practice training for owners and managing agents

About the code of practice training course

Our code of practice training course allows owners and managing agents of HMO premises to complete their obligations (link opens in new window) under the Standard Licensing Conditions.

Who is this course for?

• Either the owner or the managing agent (if any) of the HMO premises. It does not need to be completed by both. If there is more than one owner of the property, only one needs to complete it.
• If you’re a company that is an owner or managing agent of the HMO premises, your director or principal should complete it.

You only need to complete the course once within the three-year period. You do not need to complete it for each property you own or manage.

Before starting, read the following information.

• Code of Practice For Management of Houses In Multiple Occupation
• Standard Licence Conditions for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
