One of the aims of the MEES was to improve the homes of the more than 100.000 fuel poor households living in privately rented F and G rateenforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sector

The study comprised interviews with sector expert enforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sectors, analysis of data, and SIX workshops held throughout England. These aimed to find out about how the MEES are currently enforced and discuss possibleenforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sector
alternatives to improve enforcement and identify key principles for possible alternatives.The effectiveness of existing enforcement of the MEESIt wasENFORCING THE ENHANCEMENT OF ENERGYEFFICIENCY REGULATIONS IN THE ENGLISH PRIVATE RENTED SECTORFinal Report: 27 June 2019THE POWER OF BEING UNDERSTOODA enforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sectorforce the regulations within the next year others are yet to undertake any work at all around enforcing the MEESThe Ineffectiveness of the exemption criteria (prior to Apnl 2019) was a key barrier to enforcement, along with a lack of resourcing for this activity within local authorities.

portion of properties are without a mains gas supply. The proportion of non-compliant properties in urban areas may be very low (under three percent) ENFORCING THE ENHANCEMENT OF ENERGYEFFICIENCY REGULATIONS IN THE ENGLISH PRIVATE RENTED SECTORFinal Report: 27 June 2019THE POWER OF BEING UNDERSTOODA enforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sectorcing and training to help enforce the MEES2.Enforcement of the MEES cannot be undertaken In isolation from enforcement of EPC requirements. Trading Standards departments are ideally placed to enforce that EPCs are In place, especially when a new tenancy Is Issued to an existing tenant. Environmental enforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sector health and housing departments are more focussed on ensuring standards In the PRS more generally and would be better placed to enforce both EPC complenforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sector
iance and the MEES together.3.Local authorities need up-to-date data on the EPC ratings and tenure of properties, In a format that Is easy to use and ENFORCING THE ENHANCEMENT OF ENERGYEFFICIENCY REGULATIONS IN THE ENGLISH PRIVATE RENTED SECTORFinal Report: 27 June 2019THE POWER OF BEING UNDERSTOODA enforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sector from the EPC lodgement data.4.A nationwide landlord register Is the only means by which the landlords of properties without EPCs can be systematically identified and contacted.o Landlords are not uniformly against registration but feel strongly that if implemented, local authorities should put thei enforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sectorr efforts into taking action against unregistered landlords, and minimise the burden on those who have registered.u A nationally-operated register wouenforcing-enhancement-energy-efficiency-regulations-English-private-rented-sector
