520			_aProvides a group of articles on aspects of HMOs and licensing. "Heavy-weight Housing Bill assumes all will go to plan" lists the key points on this subject in the Housing Bill 2003. Proposals for selective licensing briefly reviews the genesis of the proposals for selective licensing in the draft Housing Bill 2003. "Scottish Executive produces a mouse" is highly critical of the Scottish Executive's conclusions on how to improve the current HMO licensing scheme after it had consulted on possible changes to the properties exempt from licensing following on the Scottish Social Justice Committee's 2002 critical interim report. Lists the planned changes, which include a final reduction of the occupancy threshold down to three from 1 October 2003. "Mandatory HMO licensing in Scotland might be superseded by accreditation schemes and licensing" looks at the Scottish Housing Improvement Task Force's (HITF) view that the accreditation approach might be a better alternative than mandatory HMO licensing. "Once clobbered, twice wary" is one landlord's cautionary tale on how the new HMO and selective licensing proposals will work against conscientious and fair landlords. The final article "Management standards in HMOs" succinctly summarises the current requirements of the Housing (Management of HMOs) Regulations 1990.
