FAQs
Housing Multiple Occupancy (HMO)
Here are the most common questions people have about HMOs, along with clear and detailed answers:
How does an HMO takeover work?
We take full responsibility for managing your HMO while paying you a fixed, guaranteed monthly rent—regardless of occupancy. We handle tenant sourcing, property maintenance, and compliance, so you can enjoy a completely hands-off rental experience with no stress.
Will I still get paid if rooms are empty?
Yes! Unlike traditional HMOs where landlords lose money during void periods, we guarantee your rental income every month—no matter what. This means no gaps in cash flow and no financial uncertainty.
Do I have to pay management fees or agent costs?
No! With ER Property Hub, there are no letting agent fees, no tenant find fees, and no management costs. You receive your agreed monthly payment with zero deductions, keeping more money in your pocket.
Who is responsible for maintenance and repairs?
We take care of day-to-day maintenance and minor repairs at no extra cost to you. We also stage and upgrade the property where necessary to ensure high tenant demand and long-term stability.
How do I know my property will be well looked after?
We keep your property to a higher standard than typical tenants, with weekly cleaning, routine inspections, and professional property management. Our goal is to ensure it remains in excellent condition throughout our agreement.
What happens if tenants don’t pay rent?
That’s our problem, not yours! You still receive your full guaranteed rent, regardless of whether tenants pay or not. We handle all tenant-related issues, so you never have to worry about late payments or evictions.
How long does the agreement last?
Most of our landlords choose 3–5 year agreements, but we can tailor the contract to suit your needs. This provides long-term stability without the hassle of constant tenant turnover.
