How we work with HMOs

You hold the HMO licence and Caso is named on it as manager.

Caso is your managing agent only. We do not do rent-to-rent and we do not offer guaranteed rent.

Tenant finding is through a local room-let agent at their fee, agreed with you first. Caso adds nothing to it.

Before we start, we check:

  • The HMO licence, or the licence application
  • A fire risk assessment
  • Gas safety certificate
  • Electrical installation report (EICR)
  • Fire alarm and emergency lighting certificates
  • Room sizes for every bedroom
