Of the total number of households currently in temporary accommodation., can you confirm how many of those households are being housed in a House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO).

(Landlords must apply for a specific HMO licence to be allowed to rent the property out under these conditions. Operating an unlicensed HMO is a criminal offence)

Of those HMOs, how many currently have a valid HMO license?

There are no households currently in temporary accommodation housed in a house of multiple occupation.
