Its 'Housing repairs, standards and enforcement' page (https://www.rutland.gov.uk/housing/housing-repairs-standards-enforcement) says: 'We share our housing standards service with Peterborough City Council', and that the team will 'implement mandatory licensing of houses in multiple occupation' (contact housing.standards@peterborough.gov.uk). Fee and application route not confirmed.

Article 4: whether Rutland has an HMO (C3 to C4) Article 4 direction is not confirmed.

None was found, but absence is inferred, not stated by the council; confirm with its planning team.
