Failure to meet Landlord and Tenant Act requirements
The council has powers to prosecute landlords who fail to meet their obligations under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (as amended).
Such matters include the failure of landlords to provide rent books and the failure of freeholders to give long leasehold tenants information concerning service charges and insurance.
Where a complaint is received, the council's housing officers will endeavour to ensure that the required information is provided. However, in the case of persistent failure to provide the information a prosecution will be considered.
