Fines totalling £108,000 have been issued to letting agents and landlords breaching HMO rules in part of London.
An additional HMO licensing scheme has been in operation across the whole of Haringey since 2019 and the council says its fines have been related to the scheme and licence-dodging agencies and buy to let investors.
Tenants who live in unlicenced properties may be entitled to up to 12 months’ rent repaid back to them through Rent Repayment Orders.
Eubert Malcolm, assistant director for stronger and safer communities at Haringey council, says: “Our priority is and always will be to protect our tenants welfare and ensure they live in safe, well-maintained homes. These fines send a clear message that we will not tolerate negligence from landlords and letting agents. We are committed to upholding high standards for all rental properties in Haringey.”
