What can landlords be fined for in England? A checklist

Every penalty a private landlord in England can face, with the official maximum for each: the Renters' Rights Act's £7,000 and £40,000 civil penalties, rent repayment orders of up to two years' rent, deposits, fees, right to rent, gas, electrics, alarms, energy ratings and licensing. Maxima only, from GOV.UK and the legislation; councils set their own starting points.
