The Totality Principle
Where a landlord has committed multiple offences, and a civil penalty could be imposed for each one, consideration will be given to whether it is just and proportionate to impose a penalty for each offence. Only one penalty can be imposed in respect of the same offence.
Having regard to the above considerations, a decision will be made about whether a civil penalty should be imposed for each offence and, if not, which offences should be pursued.
