A landlord has been prosecuted and ordered to pay a £12,000 fine as well as over £12,000 in court costs, after being found guilty of not licensing three flats he was letting in Waltham Forest, London.
Elston Tuitt was found guilty after being prosecuted by Waltham Forest Council for refusing to obtain licences for three rented flats in a single block.
The three apartments were identified by council officers during an ‘action day’ in January. At first Tuitt entered an ‘abuse of process’ application against the council’s decision to prosecute, which was rejected.
