Banned Items – NOT to be installed or used in rooms

🔥 Fire Safety – Items Not Permitted in Your Room

For the safety of all tenants, the following items are strictly prohibited in your room or elsewhere in the property at any time:

1. Fridges, Freezers & Kitchen Appliances

  • Kitchen appliances, including fridges and freezers, must not be used or stored in your room.

  • HMO licensing standards do not permit these items in bedrooms due to the high fire risk.

  • Please remove any such appliances immediately.

Tip: Check our guide for safe fridge and freezer use in communal areas.

2. Electric / Gas / Portable Heaters

  • Electric fires or other portable heating devices are not allowed in the property.

  • This is a fire safety requirement and is included in your tenancy agreement.

  • Using portable heating can also increase electricity bills, and all tenants may be held responsible for any excess charges.

See more details in the Bills Inclusive – Fair Usage Policy.

3. Extension Leads & Multiple Connections

  • Extension leads and daisy-chained plugs are a serious fire hazard.

  • Do not set up multiple electric connections in your room.

4. Candles & Wax Melts

  • Candles, tealights, and wax melts are strictly banned for fire safety reasons.

5. Scooter, Bike, or Vehicle Charging

  • No charging of scooters, bikes, or other vehicles is permitted in the property.

  • Charging in your room or communal areas is a fire risk. Use local charging points instead.

⚠️ Remember: Fire safety is for your protection and the protection of your housemates. Any violation of these rules may result in fines, insurance issues, or tenancy consequences.
