In October 2008 Cabinet approved a report
detailing how the Council would undertake its enforcement role in
accordance with the Housing Act 2004 and other relevant housing
legislation in respect of private sector housing. The revised
policy expands the enforcement policy to inform landlords how the
Council will take a decision to instigate formal action where the
landlord is not complying with informal enforcement action.

14/2010 The Cabinet agreed the revised
Enforcement Policy for Private Sector Housing, as set out in
appendix one to the report.
Effective enforcement significantly adds to
the safety of Medway and maintains a quality environment and
wellbeing of stakeholders. By providing an improved policy
framework for enforcement, the Council can ensure that decisions
made are consistent, fair, transparent and proportionate to any
breaches in legislation.
