As an example of the success of our current scheme, and its importance in protecting the rights of private tenants, a professional landlord agency trading as Century 21 Cameron Adams was fined £25,000 plus costs of £3,000 on Friday 24 January 2020.
The court hearing came after council officers discovered multiple serious offences at an unlicensed house in multiple occupation (HMO) in the borough, including a complete absence of working smoke detectors, serious drainage problems, inadequate heating, and dangerously haphazard entrance steps.
