hotel

[Guest]

A Building 25 bedrooms was hotel now mainly social ser beds(unemployed ,alkys and drugaddicts etc.),owner says he would let out rooms as "hotel" if needed,and wants to keep FP act cert( maybe to stop him being treated as multi occ under housing ) Can he be a hotel and multi occ at same time,,so the council could upgrade him from old cert standard to  housing act standard.Detection is presently corridor only and made up doors,fire authority have tried to lapse cert but owner insists he would take people  under hotel basis even though he agrees he hasnt had any for over 12 months.I presume there are lots of these ,any thoughts on standards ,FP act -housing act -both ??

This is another symptom of the daft way we regulate HMOs. The only way you can approach this is to say that a building is iether a HMO or a Hotel.

If people are cooking in their rooms then you may have a handle to grab. If not all you can do treat it as a hotel.
