Big fine for landlord who put tenants’ safety at risk

Fair enough sounds like a rogue landlord and I bet all his tenants would likely come under the same heading, otherwise why would they remain living in those conditions, horses for courses as the saying goes

One of the disadvantages of a Company, you get fined and the Company gets fined doubling the fine. The bit that’s missing here is the Rent 2 Rent Agent if indeed that was the case.
This Rent 2 Rent is wide spread in London. I have been approached several time by Agents & Individuals alike but never fell for it. They take your property at the rent you advertise it for, so huge numbers are doing it, they then sub-let it for short let’s or AirBnB making a good margin for themselves sometimes double. So there is no cost on them, don’t own anything so there’s no Mortgage’s to pay and when it all over goes belly up the Landlord is still responsible, could be an element of that here, so landlords take heed and don’t fall for Rent 2 Rent in my eyes its a widespread scam

Michael. I may have missed something here. A fine is a fine. If the fine is £1,000, someone pays but I don't get the double dipping issue. They either fine you as a company or as an individual. If they do both, it will be for different reasons. Are you saying they can double up on one fine? That does not sound like UK law?
Point taken on AirBnB. This has opened up a new can of worms.

Mr viper, r u a legal professional ? It says that the company and Mr Patel were both find.The student occupants were described as "vulnerable" (why ? They are adults,) Failure to maintain credit on the meters ? Sounds as though the meters are prepaid ones, possiboy in the

Sorry , computer playing up, or someone's interfering. I am querying vulnerability of tenants and who was responsible for paying utility bills ? I have reason to believe that judges are taking a hard line with landlords.

Vulnerable, normally describes the poor me whingers who feel that they are entitled to the free ride.

I am fascinated by this, it's obviously a council press release, it's claimed that the student tenants are vulnerable, although such people are highly educated. That the council had support from the ( students ?) University,, and because students were vulnerable couldn't pursue a complaint themselves ? So why did the university pursue it, is the education so poor that the students couldn't complain.sounds like a stichup. normally the university couldn't care less about the students outside of uni.

If the stairway is blocked it is 99% the students who dumped their rubbish there how is that the landlords fault, I get about 10 cases a week of this in party season when my staff ask the students to move their belongings as is a fire hazard the student union is telling them to complain the landlord is harassing them
As for vulnerable students ,they have no problem complaining even when the property owner has evidence they caused the problem, and the sad fact is the three big hate gangs (generation hate etc) are very adept at orchestrating attacks on families who provide accommodation
The simple fact is lies and hate propaganda is something these gangs are highly effective in promoting
Any landlord who expects fairness and justice in this country is doomed to a life of misery and persecution either learn to live with that or sell up and get out before they tattoo your licence numbers on your wrists ,have we got such short memories that we have forgotten where we ended up the last time a minority group was demonised and vilified in this fashion this is just the beginning levelling up is coming( or more accurately " Mein Kampf"

Yes Mr Altmann, Universities often get their pupils in a debt trap with dead end degrees.
The chancellor and similar staff are paid telephone numbers. And of course universities are big landlords. On GB news it was claimed that only 27 % of pupils pay their loans back. Private profit taxpayer debt, quite incredible.
A lot of these councils are highly politicised, and play it very dirty.

This is another reason why this country is going to the dogs, this time thanks to Blair, we have a young work force with Micky Mouse degrees who's only use is flipping burgers or stocking shelves in supermarkets
