Section 63(1) of the Houses in Multiple Occupation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016 provides that the Department may make regulations approving a Code of Practice for the management of Houses of Multiple Occupancy ("HMOs").
Section 63(6) of the Act provides that the Department may approve such a code only if it has been satisfied that the code has been published in a manner that the Department considers appropriate for the purposes of bringing the Code to the attention of those likely to be affected by it or that arrangements have been made for the Code to be so published.
