Consequence of having a civil penalty imposed
Where two or more civil penalties relating to banning order offences are given to a person over a 12-month period the council may include the person's details in the database of rogue landlords and property agents. The rogue landlord's database is viewable by local housing authorities to help them to target their enforcement activities. The person will be advised where this is the case as this may be used to determine whether they are a fit and proper person to be a license holder.
Where a landlord or manager receives a civil penalty, this action can be considered when assessing whether they are a fit and proper person to be the licence holder for a house in multiple occupation or property within a selective licensing area.
