Manchester landlords found to be in breach of property management regulations have been fined £97,500 in the last seven months.

Manchester City Council said since May, Civil Penalties have been handed to rogue landlords across the city as the council continues to pursue enforcement action against private landlords whose property fails to meet the required standards.

Civil Penalties of up to £30,000 can be imposed by the council where serious offences have been committed, as an alternative to prosecution.

EWC Realty Limited was ordered to pay the highest penalty (£30,000) allowed under housing legislation after failing to comply with Improvement Notices on their property on Moston Lane, Moston.

The property had a number of hazards which included no fixed heating and an inadequate fire escape. In the event of a fire, the occupiers had to escape via a kitchen which is considered a high risk room and would impede a safe exit from the property.
