More rogue landlords revealed

By Bristol24/7  Friday Oct 28, 2016

Another landlord renting out substandard accommodation has been fined as the city council continues to tighten its bespoke licensing scheme.

In April 2013 Bristol City Council declared all private rented properties within the area of Stapleton Road, Easton and surrounding streets must meet basic standards.

Saleem Nazir is the latest to have been hauled before the courts for not registering with the scheme. He faced a £4,200 fine for a flat he let above a phone shop on 437 Stapleton Road.

Enforcement officers found such severe rot in the bathroom that the toilet had began to fall through the floor, becoming disconnected from the plumbing.

The council has extended its property licensing scheme to Eastville and St George West.
