So do you mean there are two separate definitions for BMOs then..., residential and commercial, and each has its own standards?
And on what basis they aren't considered as one sort of BMO, so long as people are in and out either living or working?

Most commercial multi occs are not sleeping risks and therefore the guidance deals with those scenarios HMO's are sleeping risks and are dealt with by definition in the Housing Act. Some are licensed and some can be but may not but still have to meet the standard definitions. You can get a commercial/residential multi occ but normally the compartmentation is stricter in thes scenarios.
