Landlords

Read about your duties as a Landlord and make a payment if you have a Housing Act Demand Notice or Housing Civil Penalty Notice.

Private sector housing enforcement policy

Our private sector housing enforcement policy tells you what you can expect from our officers carrying out enforcement in private homes, and the amount of money we will charge landlords as a penalty if we find that they have not followed the law. 

The type of enforcement we decide to take is always considered on a case-by-case basis and will vary according to the law. In every case we will use enforcement to make sure:

  • everyone follows the law
  • landlords take immediate action to deal with serious risks
  • landlords who do not follow the rules are held to account
