Changes are planned in Sefton to the rules for houses of multiple occupation in a bid to combat anti-social behaviour.
The rule changes mean people applying for permission to change properties into houses of multiple occupation will have to submit a series of documents showing how they will manage the home.
These include a management plan around the maintenance of communal areas and outdoor spaces as well as how “nuisance and annoyance” are to be avoided for other residents in the area to reduce the risk of anti-social behaviour.
