Part 2: Rogue Landlords and Property Agents in England Chapter 2: Banning Orders Consequences of banning order, including consequences of breach Schedule 2: Banned person may not hold HMO licence etc
This Schedule makes amendments to the Housing Act 2004 to provide that where a banning order has been made against a person they are not a fit and proper person for the purposes of the HMO licensing requirements, under section 64(3)(b) or (d) of that Act. A licence may also not be granted in relation to a property where a person who owns an interest in that property is subject to a banning order. A local housing authority is also required to revoke a licence under Part 2 or Part 3 of the Housing Act 2004 if a banning order is made against the licence holder, or against a person who owns an interest or estate in the house and is a lessor or licensor of that house. Amendments are made to Schedule 5 of the Housing Act 2004 to provide that there is no right to make representations to the local authority or right of appeal to the First-tier Tribunal where a licence is refused or revoked due to a banning order.
