Regulation 6 Power of council to arrange remedial action
Where the council is satisfied that a landlord on whom it has served a remedial notice is in breach of the duty under regulation 5(1), the council may, with the consent of the tenant of the dwelling-house in relation to which the remedial action is to be taken, arrange for an authorised person to enter the dwelling-house to take the remedial action specified in the remedial notice.
Before the remedial action is taken the council must serve a notice on the landlord specifying—
the dwelling-house in relation to which the remedial action is to be taken by the authorised person under paragraph (1) and the nature of that remedial action;
the power under which the remedial action is to be taken by the authorised person in paragraph (1);
the date when the remedial action will be taken by the authorised person; and
the right of appeal under regulation 7 against the decision of the council to arrange for an authorised person to take the remedial action.
The council must arrange for an authorised person to take the remedial action within 28 days of—
the end of the notice period in regulation 7(3) where there is no appeal; or
an appeal decision that confirms or varies the decision of the council where there is an appeal.
An authorised person must—
give not less than 48 hours notice of the remedial action to the tenant of the dwelling-house on which it is to be taken; and
if required to do so by or on behalf of the landlord or tenant, produce evidence of identity and authority.
