A firm has been fined £29,000 after a rental property was found to be - in the words of Nottingham city council - in a filthy and verminous condition with a rat infestation.
Nottingham HMO Ltd, directed by Nazaquat Azam and previously by Yusif McCallum, was found guilty of breaching HMO management regulations and failing to respond to a demand for information made by the local council.
Nottingham Magistrates’ Court fined the business £19,000 for failing to comply with a number of HMO regulations, and £10,000 for failure to respond to a notice requesting information under Section 16 of the Local Government Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1976. The court also awarded costs of £1450.
A council team originally visited in January 2016 to assess the property for suitability for a HMO licence. The authority says that during the inspection the property was found to be in a state of disrepair with serious lapses in the management of the dwelling.
This included the property having no working fire detection system and the integrity of the fire doors being compromised due to damage. “The house was in a filthy and verminous condition with an infestation of rats in the kitchen” says a council statement.
The licence has since been refused.
A council spokeswoman says the firm “completely ignored the advice given to them for their own financial gain, placing their tenants at the risk of harm” and created a “profit before safety” culture.

This will probably be in tomorrow's Post.
Facebook Licensing only 7,000 Landlords have come forward so far.
25,000 Licenses still han't been paid or forthcoming.
We now can't do repairs like new bathrooms and kitchen, so our houses are now becoming worse cause of Licensing.
The problem is, and Steve and Anton are great blokes, it's the good tenants and the good houses and the good Landlords that are paying the £780 EACH house, they've been taxed, so the council can now go get the bad ones with OUR YOUR money. Is that fair?
We'd say like a refund from the fines off the bad Landlords when u get em WITH OUR £780. What have we got with our money?
What about the tenants who have now been made homeless-And there has been many cause their Landlords have been tipped over the edge and have now sold cause of the Licensing whopping extortionate fee when a Wales council Licensing fee is only £144. And the conditions that no tenant signed up to?
Please forward share video & text to all Private tenants & Landlords

The New tenant Tax Nottingham Council expects
private tenants to pay-Selective Licensing
The truth about Nottm Council putting private tenants rents up
Licensing cost £780 PER HOUSE
Accreditation cost roughly £100 per house
Electrical certificate £140 EACH HOUSE + average works per house £97 as stated by Government
Floorplans each house £30
Inventory each house £45
Average works per house to bring to Newbuilds regs: £1000
Total cost £2192 per private tenant-And council houses don’t have to do it-Why not?
Who’s paying for this? ‘Cause I’ve been renting houses for 20years & when costs go up, the rent has to, to cover it
Payable UP-FRONT-Not weekly like the council will have you believe
Insisting on all tenants having a reference before giving them a house, effectively meaning a lot of Housing benefit tenants can no longer have a house-Where they gonna’ live?
Landlord has to criminal check himself
Landlord has to prove he has Right to live in UK
You rattle on about this £2pw. Your phone contract-Is it £20pm or do they ask for £1200 IN ONE GO AT THE BEGINNING?
Your phone company doesn’t say £20pm, then as they about to ship the phone out, they say Oh we want £1200 now from DAY ONE, UP FRONT!!!!
Please forward & share & make public to
All private tenants & Landlords

How about putting it into the licensing scheme, or better use it to catch some more rouges then fine them £30k you could even pay the wages this way then you could bin the licensing scheme
