Landlords and tenants are being invited by a London council to discuss the how HMOs affect communities and neighbourhoods in the area.
Ealing council is holding the event on September 17. It will take the form of a two-hour free workshop.
The workshop coincides with the same council’s current consultation – which runs until September 24 – on whether to continue additional licensing for smaller HMOs for another five years from April 2027.
Councillor Louise Brett, deputy leader and cabinet member for homes, says: “For many people, shared accommodation is one of the most affordable ways to access housing, but we know that many others have concerns about the way those homes are managed.
“If you have an interest in the private rented sector, I hope you can join us at this event. Your views and experiences will help us better understand how HMOs affect local communities and inform future thinking and potential policy considerations.”
