Use this form to report a concern about an outbuilding or house in multiple occupation (HMO) in Ealing borough.
An illegal outhouse is a garage, shed or temporary garden structure that people live in without the council's permission. These outhouses are often poor quality and unsafe to live in.
A HMO is a property rented out by at least three people who are not from one ‘household’ (for example a family) but share facilities like the bathroom and kitchen.
