If you are named on a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licence in Leeds you must attend a one day ‘HMO Professional Development Course for Landlords’.
Working in partnership with the Residential Landlords Association (RLA), a course has been approved which covers the essential elements of managing a tenancy and matters relating to health and safety (Part 1 of the Housing Act 2004, Housing Conditions). Upon completion, all attendees receive a certificate to confirm their satisfactory attendance. Members of the RLA and Leeds Landlords’ Accreditation Scheme (as administered by the Residential Landlords Association Accreditation Scheme) receive a discount on the course fee.
If you have already attended the “HMO Licensing-Professional Development Course for Landlords” (run exclusively in Leeds), within the last five years and you can provide evidence of your attendance, we do not intend to ask you to attend a further course during the second phase of HMO licensing. Where appropriate, you will be asked to provide evidence of your attendance and it is your responsibility to ensure you have kept your certificate to demonstrate this.
Licence holders and managing agents must attend this course within the timescales specified in their HMO licence. It is an offence not to comply with the training requirements within this timescale.
