A landlord faces prosecution after police found he had squeezed 31 beds into a very overcrowded three-bedroom house that had just one bathroom.
The property, located in Kenton, north-west London, was discovered in what was described as “appalling living conditions”, with mould visible, along with a peeling ceiling, a makeshift curtain and several fire hazards, including no smoke detectors, no carbon monoxide detectors, and an array of health and safety issues.
There were 10 people found inside the semi-detached house during the time of the raid, but plenty of evidence to suggest at least 20 people living at the property, which was unlicensed despite clearly being a House in Multiple Occupancy (HMO).
