Since 1 October 2023, the responsible person must record the whole fire risk assessment and who carried it out, under the Building Safety Act 2022 s.156.
Large HMOs with five or more people from two or more households require a mandatory licence from North Yorkshire Council everywhere in England, including Richmond.
