Painting in a HMO house

Thanks all for your kind reply. Yes planning to paint rooms. The tenants are working 9a.m to 5p.m, except one tenant who is working in the night, So the tenants working in morning they are fine ..
I spoke to the painter, he mentioned there would be noise as they would going up and coming down, also some repair to the walls, he mentioned he faced similar issue in the past in the one of the house he painted where tenant was working in the night,.
As there would be noise while doing this work, i have postponed until this tenant vacates. Even though i want to do in summer, i have to do in winter. As there is no option.

Quite possibly, but I guess leaving one bedroom to be painted at a later date may be a reasonable compromise for the moment.

Plastering and painting aren't noisy jobs. I would just make sure that those doing the work are aware there may be someone sleeping so they don't put a radio on and take care when moving around any furniture etc. Provided tenants have notice of the works they should accept the communal areas need to be maintained. A landlord I know reduced the rent for tenants for one month while he installed a new kitchen, but that is something which would cause significant inconvenience for a few days.
I assume when you say the whole house you aren't including bedrooms, it would only be reasonable and practical to do that between tenancies.

I wouldn't bother doing the work. Paper over the cracks. Bit of magnolia emulsion. Job done.

This is the big problem with HMOs and the main reason why we moved over to students; because students vacate at the end of the year and you can maintain the property if needed each year end.
I found that tenants' changing working patterns have made maintenance a problemfor HMOs. I had tenants who worked in night clubs, casinos and restaurants who arrived home at about 5 am and slept until 12 or later. Unless its an emergency repair you are very unlikely to get their co-operation. If you can't negotiate a suitable compromise then you really can't do the work.

Each tenant has there own tenancy agreement and in the tenancy agreement there is no clause regarding the painting etc,.
I meant all the three tenants are fine with the painting and are supportive.
But one tenant says he will complaint to the council if he gets disturbed.

There is only one "tenant" if what you mean is that there is only one tenancy agreement with all three on it.
Just forget the painting.

Thanks all. This is a individual tenancy and not related to each other. All the three tenants are fine,except one tenant, he is working in the night.
For maintenance of the property i am doing this work. This is an internal painting.

by pom865Hi,
I can see so many HMO's listed for sale at the moment. I understand COVID is making it difficult to run HMO's. But is it really this bad? I can see few in e.g. Swansea on sale for last 2-3 years and still not sold (and this is pre covid days 2018). Not sure I understand what's going...-

Reply to HMO'sby BerlingogirlI'm finding it increasingly difficult to let out the rooms in my HMOs. Over the last few years I've converted two of them to full family lets and am considering doing the same to a 3rd. That will leave me with just one.
There are lots of single men who need rooms, but they're not working...-

Reply to HMO - 4th occupant in a 3 HMOby BerlingogirlMy HMO tenancy agreement has, in red, a clause that says the room is for single occupancy only.
Where I have the amount of rent, I have underneath that, something like 'an overnight guest, whether agreed or not, will incur a charge of £xx per night' . This is a charge, not rent. If it was rent...-

Reply to HMO - 4th occupant in a 3 HMOby jpkeatesIf the person who is unhappy with the situation is one of the joint tenants, they should raise the issue with the landlord, who is probably in breach of contract - having advertised the property as a three people share and not providing that in practice.
It's possibly a breach of the contract...-

Reply to HMO - 4th occupant in a 3 HMOby DPT57No it does not release them from the contractual or tenancy obligations. It means that the tenants have to sort it out between them and if they're not happy, get the offending tenant to throw her out.
I assume that by "the HMO is only for 3 people" that you mean this is your policy...-
