Many people could fall into fuel poverty this winter
Private Landlords in Nottingham could be fined £5,000 if their property's EPC rating is below E. As part of the council's 'Carbon Neutral Nottingham 2020-2028 Action Plan', the council is hoping to reduce fuel poverty in the city and eliminate properties with E, F or G banded EPC ratings.
The decision notice states: "Nottingham City Council remains committed to improving housing conditions within the private rented sector and has most recently secured funding from the Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities to undertake the identification of those properties that have an EPC rating below E, which are being privately rented to tenants.
The document also states: "Nottingham City Council may impose a financial penalty of up to £5,000 under Regulation 37 of the Energy Efficiency Regulations 2015 upon those landlords who fail to comply with the Compliance Notice.
Giles Inman, business development officer of Empo, the largest landlord's association in the East Midlands which is based in Lenton, said: "It became a criminal offence for landlords to rate properties that were rated F or below and that became legislation, and the fines are up to £5,000 for landlords that do not comply with that legislation.
