HMOWTR3120 - Grounds for Deregistration/Refusal: If the NRU consider unspent convictions when deciding whether the trader is suitable, do assurance officers need to consider this detail?

There is a risk that the trader will not disclose unspent convictions on application, as this will adversely affect his application. If, during the pre-approval visit, facts come to light that the proprietor or key officials have any unspent convictions, detail of these should be sent to the NRU for consideration.
