This policy explains how the Housing Services
Department will deal effectively with recharges, including those
arising from damage, non-standard alterations or for the cost of
clearing abandoned possessions left behind by tenants /
leaseholders or where unauthorised works have been carried out and
there is a cost of correcting those works, making safe or returning
to property to its original state.
The policy covers recharges arising from those works which lie
outside of the landlord responsibilities, including where costs are
involved for dealing with applications for landlord’s consent
to alterations to Council properties or costs involved for the
council in investigating unauthorised alterations including houses
of multiple occupation (HMOs)
