  9. Doncaster's rogue landlords face £30k finespublished at 17:30 British Summer Time 4 April 2018

    A "tough crackdown" on rogue landlords is being planned in Doncaster.

    Doncaster Council

    Doncaster Council says it could soon issue landlords fines of up to £30,000 if they are badly managing their properties and causing tenants distress.

    Councillors will meet next Tuesday to debate the introduction of civil penalties after a change in government policy means they can now issue fines larger than those currently issued by magistrates' courts.

    The ruling is intended to act as a deterrent to landlords currently failing to comply with overcrowding notices and repairs.

    If the proposals go ahead, landlords and agents will still be referred for prosecution by the council as well.
