standards can improve in the private rented sector. CIEH represents
environmental health professionals, the workforce that carries out inspections
in the private rented sector, and has recommended fines of up to £30,000 for
larger property managing agents would be in line with the civil penalty for
committing a banning order offence. Read more on 24housing.
