If you do not comply with HHSRS (Housing Health and Safety Rating System) will the licence be revoked?
The licence holder and manager (if any) must be a fit and proper person(s) and there must be adequate management structures and financial arrangements to properly maintain the HMO. The housing health and safety rating system (HHSRS) is a system for assessing how property problems affect the health and safety of residents. It is possible that significant failures to safeguard the tenants may be considered as grounds for reviewing the suitability of the licence holder and manager. Where an improvement notice is served under the Housing Act, and this is not properly complied with, this will be similarly considered.
