The Order made changes to the way in which Rent Officers and Rent Assessment Committees register rents following the assessment of fair rent for properties let since before 15 January 1989.</i></p><hr/><p>Inspections are carried out by this Authority into homes in multiple occupation and look for disrepair, inadequate facilities and means of escape, dangerous or defective lifts, general mis-management and overcrowding. The assessment may be used in addition to the determination by the Fair Rents Inspection, as the Rent Officer will consider whether your home has more rooms than the housing benefit rules say you need. </p><p>The Rent Officer is primarily responsible for the constitution and the working of rent assessment committees, which hear appeals from either landlords or tenants and determines appropriate rents for their property. The Rent Assessment Panel is a Non Departmental Public Body whose function is to determine appropriate rents for those properties in the private rented sector.</p><p>For further information about Fair Rents and Fair Rent inspections, please use the contact details above. </p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3> <a href="/ccm/services/pid.jsp?pid=149"> Providing Information (149) </a></h3>
