A landlord may appeal to the Residential Property Tribunal (RPT) (website) in certain cases, such as:
 
- Where it is believed a legal Notice has been served on them incorrectly

- Where they believed that works or conditions were over specified: or

- Where it is believed that a licence has been refused without adequate justification

The RPT is an independent body, and appeal panels consist of three people, a legal expert, a technical expert and a lay member. The function of the RPT is to consider the appeal and it may accept the appeal, dismiss the appeal or vary the requirements of a Licence Notice or Order.

The RPT is also responsible for authorising Rent Repayment Orders on behalf of the Council, and where an application is made, authorising Interim and Final Management Orders.
