What facilities does a boarding house have to have?

Question

Accepted Answer

A boarding house landlord must comply with all building laws, including health and safety laws. The house must have a kitchen or kitchenette, drinkable water and bathroom facilities (connected to adequate water supplies and a way of heating water). It mustn’t be overcrowded. The boarding house should be kept in a reasonable state of repair. If the structure of the house or things the landlord provided need repair, tell the landlord right away. They are responsible for fixing these.
A boarding house landlord must provide and maintain locks to ensure the house is reasonably secure. They don’t have to provide a lock for each bedroom door but if there is one, it should be working.
