Landlord fined £8510 for ignoring court order
https://www.luton.gov.uk/news/Pages/Landlord-fined-for-ignoring-court-order.aspx
An extensive list of the many issues with the property included:
no gas safety certificate
live cables adjacent to water supply in the shower room
evidence of rodent infestation in the kitchen
inadequate ventilation and heating throughout, resulting in mould growth
lack of windows, aggravating ventilation concerns and limiting natural light
no damp proof membrane to ground floor
The property had become the subject of a prohibition order while under the management of a previous landlord. When it reverted to Ishaq’s control he was still bound by the order. Despite this, he issued new agreements with tenants and flouted the law concerning houses in multiple occupation by failing to secure the correct licence.0 -
