Houses in multiple occupation

That this House notes the ruinous impact that houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) can have on residential neighbourhoods, including pressures on local services, parking and community cohesion; condemns the use of HMOs by the Government to accommodate asylum seekers; believes that local communities should have a far greater say over the establishment and use of HMOs in their area; and calls on the Government to strengthen the powers available to local residents and local authorities to prevent inappropriate HMO developments.
