New neighbours are renting rooms , is there a limit to how many people aloud in a 4 bed house?

Hi there





There are definitely rules, one of the key ones is laid down in legislation and refers to ';Homes under Multiple Occupancy'; (or HMO for short). More details can be found a www.opdm.gov.uk, search for HMO.





In brief if they have more than 5 occupants from more than one family they need to have a HMO licence. If not then they may be breaking the law ... but please check the site I mention for precise details - there is a simply Q%26amp;A flow chart to follow that gives you an answer for a particular situation.





I hope this helpsNew neighbours are renting rooms , is there a limit to how many people aloud in a 4 bed house?
That would be up to local code enforcement. What if the neighbor had 8 kids, would that make a difference?New neighbours are renting rooms , is there a limit to how many people aloud in a 4 bed house?
there is in my city
1000 asylum seekers
yes, call your city codes office
there is some kind of rule but it is never but into action and also bare in mind that the front room or lounge can also be classed as a sleeping room or bedroom so you can have a lot of people in a four bedroom house
Well remember how many golliwogs you could get on a jam jar ? count how many of those jars can you get in a bloody house,its simple maths really they ruin every thing.Only we lost the one of the jam jar,He sued Robertson's for putting up the rent !
there are always codes set to limit how many people can live in a house per sq foot or per bedroom etc.
No, nor do their neighbours do have to be able to spell.
The only time a limit comes in is when there are children or teenagers involved in the said room.


young boys and young girls, young girls and teenage boys, teenage boys and young girls mother and son or daughter, father and son or daughter cannot share a room past the age of 4 or 5.


and 2 teenagers of the opposite sex cannot share either.





It doesn't matter if all of these people are family someone can b=get into big trouble.





and I'm sure that there is something about a fire hazard too!!
It's usually limited to 2 people per bedroom.
your neighbours sub letting?does the landlord agree or is it their own pad?multi occupancy has by law to be notified to local council..if he is renting out rooms there are laws regarding health+safety...has the house a hard wired smoke alarm system(legal requirement..)that's to say its wired to the mains not on battery power...fire exts,..and gas and electrical safety certificates are required.. fire exits...insurances..etc..etc.etc..the list goes on and on...
I don't know but I would think there is a limit. Ask your local council office ,they will know
Not for 4 bed. Once you get 5 bed there are regs on how many bathrooms and exits you have to have etc. Unless they are endangering themselves or other people or creating pollution (noise, litter etc) there's not much you can do. That is as long as they're all paying their rates/council tax too!!!
At one time there was a sensible limit , now it seems ';Unlimited'; even the beds are occupied on a ';Shift'; basis , but there, there, we don,t want to offend anyone do we ? after all it,s only our country , who are we to make the rules = Pile Em. in Pay up , Shut up, Give em. everything they ask for and Put up with it.
Where do you live - it varies by community. In Chicago, it's regulated to two people per bedroom. So 9 people technically can't live in a four bedroom house.
It depends on the local bylaws. (allowed...not aloud)
my 3 bedroom rented house has limmit of 11 people
yes but they differ 6- 10 for normal people 854 for Asians.
Does your neighbor rent or own. If they own No If they are renting there could be.
How many families is the neighbor's house zoned for? Chances are that your neighbor's house is only zoned for single family occupancy which would mean that the neighbor cannot rent out any rooms.
