Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make provision for how a local housing authority in England must deal with—

(a)

any surplus collected or recovered under an interim or final management order in respect of property let in breach of a banning order made under section 16 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 (c.22) (see regulation 3); and

(b)

any financial penalty recovered for breach of a banning order (see regulation 4).

Any such amount may be used to meet an authority’s costs and expenses incurred in carrying out its enforcement functions in relation to the private rented sector. If it is not used for that purpose the local housing authority must pay it into the Consolidated Fund.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on business or the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
