staff accomadation

[alfi]

I have a lient who owns a portfolio of hotels, staff accomadation is off site and in standard domestic type 3 bed houses etc, the client does have a commercial lease on these houses but staff don't pay rent.

My question is;

Would these come under HASAWA 1974 or any workplace regulation and fire regs etc

Would this be classed as a HMO or would any controls need to be in place like AFD; fire blankets; FD etc.

I would think that as the accommodation is provided as part of their employment, whether they pay rent or not, it would come under H&S legislation and should be subject to a risk assessment which would include that regarding fire .
HMO? Very likely.

The accomodation would appear to come in as part of staff renumeration, so, you may consider it as part of their work place, as if they were at the hotel. Realistically, R/A with addition of all other landlord requirements i.e. certs for heating appliances/services/ electrical etc.

In my opinion this would come under the Reg Reform Fire Safety Order (for any common parts if applicable) and Housing Risk Rating System / Housing Act potentially for the residential parts
