Is there HMO guaranteed rent in Lowestoft?

HMOs can suit supported-living providers who house several people in one home. You deal with one leaseholder instead of individual room lets.

In England, an HMO let to 5 or more people forming 2 or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence from the council, and councils can run additional licensing for smaller HMOs. Check with East Suffolk Council (with Suffolk County Council) whether additional or selective licensing applies to your address.
