New housing rental rules to protect Bedfordshire tenants

New rules which will help protect more people in privately rented homes from poor living conditions and overcrowding have come into force this month.
Landlords who let out a property to 5 or more people, from 2 or more separate households that share facilities (homes in multiple occupation, HMO), must get a licence from their local housing authority.
Previously, the rules only applied to properties of 3 or more storeys, but now all properties will be covered.
