Seven Emergency Prohibition Orders have been served on one landlord by a Nottinghamshire Police force and local authority.
The seven properties in Hucknall were served the orders, meaning the properties cannot be legally occupied unless all works required are completed and the order is revoked.
Following a tip off from a utilities firm, Nottinghamshire council and police officers attended the properties; following inspection five of the premises were prohibited due to a lack of power and the health impacts of no heating, hot water or lighting and two further properties were prohibited due to a dangerous external staircase which is rotting and at risk of collapse.

Bad landlord yes, but what ever sort of tenants are they living like that, vulnerable ? leave those kinds to the council to home, more trouble than they are worth.
I wonder if the landlord dumped the rubbish ? Surely it wouldn't be the tenants' fault?
Wonder why the Police are involved, its not a Police matter serving Housing enforcement notices and they not normally quick to intervene in Tenant situations, - even when there has been criminality !
