🏘️ HMO Occupancy Screen Overview
The HMO Occupancy screen provides a snapshot of properties with active tenancies that meet HMO criteria. A property will appear on this screen if:
-
It is explicitly marked as an HMO
-
It has more than X occupants, regardless of HMO status
🧭 How to Access
Navigate to: Main → More → HMO Occupancy
📋 Displayed Information
Each entry on the HMO Occupancy screen includes:
-
Property – name or address
-
Owner – associated landlord or owner
-
Occupant Count – total number of current occupants
-
Occupants – names or identifiers of tenants
-
Info – additional notes or alerts
🔍 Filtering Options
You can refine the view using the following filters:
-
Management Type – filter by how the property is managed
-
Branch – view properties by office or location
-
Last Name Count – useful for identifying unrelated occupants
⚠️ HMO Warnings
If a property has more than X occupants but is not marked as an HMO (see Details #3 in the property record), a warning will appear in the Info column. This helps flag properties that may require licensing review.
