Private Landlord Registration Enforcement Policy

Our Landlord Registration Enforcement Policy aims to make sure that private landlords comply with current legislation and good practice and that all private landlords are 'fit and proper' to be letting residential property.  Our leaflet, 'Private landlord registration in Moray (PDF)', summarises the policy and explains what action we can take against those who do not register.
