The Private Rooming House Operators Act

Message from CHP - Update 21 April 2017

The new Rooming House Operators Act comes into effect on 26 April, requiring all existing operators to be licensed by 24 August.

Those applying for a rooming house license must now satisfy a ‘fit and proper test’, including a criminal history check, a financial history check, and checks against various offences. Operators who opt to close their rooming house rather than apply for a license have been advised to issue an appropriate notice to vacate by 26 April.
