THE NON-DOMESTIC PRIVATE RENTED PROPERTY MINIMUM STANDARD

Introduction
of the Regulations (or an invalid exemption has been registered in respect of it). Where an
enforcement authority is satisfied that a property has been let in breach of the Regulations it
may serve a penalty notice on the landlord imposing financial penalties. The authority may also
publish details of the breach. The landlord may ask the enforcement authority to review the
penalty notice and where it is upheld on review, the landlord may then appeal the penalty
notice to the First-tier Tribunal. Details of this process are set out at section 5.3 in chapter five.
Review of Regulations
Regulation 4 requires the Secretary of State to carry out a review at least every five years,
including on whether the Regulations are achieving their objectives and whether they could be
made more effective. A report containing the conclusions of the review will be published.
Note on the Green Deal
The 2015 Regulations make reference to the Green Deal, and Green Deal
Finance. Green Deal was an energy efficiency policy and finance mechanism
under the 2010-2015 coalition Government.
As Green Deal Finance is an allowable funding option within the Regulations,
this guidance document does make infrequent reference to it for
completeness. However, in practice the availability of the finance was never
extended to non-domestic property, therefore at the time of publication,
references to Green Deal in this guidance should be considered non
applicable.
