FOI Request - Energy Efficiency Private Rented Property Regs
Request 101003600675
I would like to request the following information in regard to The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015, which implemented Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
1. Are you able to keep the money received from issuing penalty notices?
2. If not, what is the minimum percentage of the fine you would require to cover costs and/or provide incentive?
1. 100%
2. 50%
3. 25%
4. 10%
3. Briefly, what is the process you take to find non-compliant properties?
4. If the Government was to implement an database which can flag to you when a let property in your area is non-compliant with current EPC standards without an exemption, assuming you could then simply send the penalty notice to the relevant address, would this help you to issue penalty notices?
5. Following from Q4, would this change your answer to Q2, and if so, how?
