Four buy to let investors have each been fined £10,000 for letting out unlicensed HMOs.
The unlicensed properties , all in the Greenwich area, include a two-bedroom HMO rented to four separate tenants, a five-bedroom HMO rented to seven separate tenants, and two separate three-bedroom HMOs.
A council spokeswoman says: “Every single person in our borough deserves good quality accommodation and our licensing enforcement is instrumental in ensuring that landlords maintain high standards for their tenants.

Why only a £10,000 fine for each when the limit is £30,000? Hit these people with a £30,000 fine and that WILL have an impact on other rogue operators. They will soon realise the licence is far cheaper than the fine.
