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 Middlesbrough Council whether additional or selective licensing applies to your address.
