The home was declared 'unsuitable for inhabitation'
A rogue Northampton landlord has been fined £12,400 for the appalling conditions discovered at a home in multiple occupation . Officers from West Northamptonshire Council Private Sector Housing Team visited a property in Ivy Road following complaints from the public.
In March, they carried out the visit under a Housing Warrant and found that the three-bedroom property was being occupied by four people from four separate households. The violation made the property a licensable HMO under the Council’s Additional Licensing regime. Councillor Adam Brown, WNC’s Cabinet Member for housing, culture and leisure, said: “From some of the images captured at this address, it is clear the landlord had little regard for the safety of their tenants. The complaints from the public also make it obvious that there was a distinct lack of respect for their neighbours and the local community.
The inspection also identified offences under the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation Regulations 2006 relating to the provision of information regarding the landlord or properties, maintenance of means of escape from fire, and maintenance of communal living areas.At NorthantsLive we're more than just news.

In June, WNC launched a review of HMOs in Northampton which has seen the council engage with stakeholders to analyse current policies concerning HMOs while also identifying ways to apply best practice from elsewhere in the country.
