What is a House in Multiple Occupation?

House in Multiple Occupation is a term that has been created by local authorities as a tool for regulating those properties which are occupied by a certain number of unrelated people. Statistically, it has been proven that more hazards and accidents occur in these properties than any other. The regulations provide specific standards of accommodation which must be complied with, predominantly concerning fire safety and property management.
