Indeed, they are actually mixed up, but it is not so easy to know what is what?

Commercial - Multi-Occupied or Multiple Occupancy Building/Premises commonly known as Multi-Occ?

Residential - House in Multiple Occupation HiMO or HMO?

Benz ,
Commercial ie office building occupied by numerous different companies

Residential , say where an old Victorian house has been converted to bedsits , occupied by different persons.
Its time to make a counter attack !

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.
