The war of the HMO’s – and “Friends” really do happen

I have a 1 broeodm flat (1 broeodm, 1 lounge, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom). The broeodm and lounge are large, so could both be rented out as good size rooms. Under the rules’, if I rented each room out to a single person, please confirm that this is fine and would not’ be an HMO .it’s effectivey 2 sharers? Is this correct please?Secondly, what if one room was rented to a couple? This would be 3 occupiers in total? .presumable now it’s an HMO? but what if that couple were married and therefore family/related? (or if 2 sisters for example)My final quastion, is about shared’ facilities. The broeodm has an en-suite, and is big enough to to add a kitchenette (thus effectively creating a studio / bedsit). The other room (formerly the lounge) then has exclusive’ use of the kitchen and the bathroom, so irrespective of the number of occupiers, there would be no shared facilities between the rooms, as each one is independent’. What would this be?Thank you very much,Jenny
