Overview
Government legislation gives us the option to impose a civil penalties as an alternative to prosecution for certain housing offences. These powers were introduced to help local authorities take more enforcement action against rogue landlords.
Read our Housing Civil Penalty Policy to learn about when we will impose a civil penalty and how we determine the amount.
Our team aim to improve housing conditions within the private rented sector and bring properties up to standard. We have a responsibility to deal with housing that may be dangerous for the occupiers in the property.
The type of enforcement action we decide is considered on a case-by-case basis and will vary according to the law.
