HMO的问题

大神们请指教看我的理解对不对。
以下是我们council HMO的一个节选,EXEPCTION那里说,如果landlord住在里面,然后再租给两个不相干的人,那也是不属于hmo的,对吗?
如果是这样,这个lardlord的定义是什么了?一定是owner吗?可否是其中一个tenant,他作为二房东把房子分租出去,由他跟另外两个租客签合同,这样算是hmo还是算是exemption的呢?
谢谢各位
All HMOs must contain 2 or more households. A household can be a family, a couple (including same sex couples) or a single person. People who are unrelated will generally be treated as separate households.

Properties occupied by only 2 people living in 2 households are exempted from the definition. Therefore a HMO must contain 3 or more occupants, including children or babies. There are a range of other exemptions, including properties occupied by a resident landlord, his family and not more than 2 unrelated persons. The exemptions are contained in Schedule 14 Housing Act 2004 and Schedule 1 of the Licensing & Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation and Other Houses (Miscellaneous Provisions)(England) Regulations 2006.

landlord就是法律上的owner,不能是其他人

其实就是在说owner+2个lodgers,虽然是3个人,但是这属于exemption范围内,还是属于C3 dwelling的用途。

我认识一个人,他有个4房的独立屋,自己住一间,三间不同的房客,他这种情况是不是要改成C4,HMO和lodger其实是两个概念是吗?

嗯,了解了,谢谢啦
