Your Complete Guide to HMO Letting in Manchester
Looking to rent out your HMO in Manchester? Whether you’re a seasoned landlord or just getting started, managing a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) comes with its own set of challenges — and opportunities.
At Let Me Manchester, we specialise in HMO lettings and property management across Greater Manchester. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to rent your property quickly, legally, and profitably.
🔍 What Is a HMO?
An HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) is a property rented out by three or more tenants from different households, who share facilities like a kitchen or bathroom.
If you have:
- 5 or more tenants
- From 2 or more households
- Sharing amenities
…then your property likely qualifies as a licensable HMO and must meet specific standards under UK housing law.
📜 Do I Need an HMO Licence in Manchester?
In many parts of Greater Manchester, yes. Licensing rules vary by council, but as a general rule:
- All HMOs with 5+ tenants require a mandatory licence
- Many councils also run selective and additional licensing schemes that cover smaller HMOs
Let Me Manchester can check your postcode and tell you exactly what you need.
✅ HMO Compliance Checklist
To legally let your HMO, you’ll need:
- A valid HMO licence (if applicable)
- Annual Gas Safety Certificate
- 5-yearly EICR (Electrical Safety Certificate)
- Fire risk assessment and compliant fire doors/alarms
- Adequate kitchen/bathroom facilities for the number of tenants
- EPC rating of E or above
- Deposit protection in a government-approved scheme
- Right to Rent checks on all tenants

💸 How Much Rent Can You Charge for an HMO in Manchester?
HMO rental prices depend on:
- Property location
- Room sizes and furnishings
- Quality of shared spaces
- Whether bills are included
On average, professional-standard HMOs in Manchester can generate higher returns than standard single lets — especially when well-managed.
