To ask Her Majesty's Government, following publication of their response to the consultation Houses in multiple occupation and residential property licensing reforms in December 2017, what responsibilities they propose that landlords of houses of multiple occupation should have in respect of waste for landfill and recycling created by tenants.

As part of the reforms to houses in multiple occupation (HMO) licensing, the Government is addressing concerns about inadequate refuse facilities in HMOs. The proposed reforms include a new mandatory condition to be included in HMO licences requiring that licence holders comply with any scheme issued by the local housing authority for the storage and disposal of household waste.
