Enforcement policy
Our policy
Fair and effective enforcement is essential to protect both the economic interests and the health and safety of the public, as well as private sector tenants.
Decisions about enforcement action and, in particular, the decision to prosecute has serious implications for all involved. The Private Sector Housing Team applies this policy to ensure that:
- Decisions about enforcement action are fair, proportionate and consistent
- Everyone understands what principles are applied when enforcement action is considered
This policy is designed to make sure that everyone knows the principles that the Private Sector Housing Team applies when carrying out its work.

The council has also adopted Nottingham City Council's 'Civil Penalties Enforcement Policy and Guidance' for certain housing offences as an alternative to prosecution.
