A Fulham landlord has been found guilty of serious fire safety breaches and has been ordered to pay £20,000.
The nine bedroom, three story house is rented out to tenants by Mr Rizwan Ahmed. Mr Ahmed also recently had to pay back £37,000 in rent after it was discovered that he did not hold the correct HMO license needed to rent out the property legally.
Mr Rizwan was accused of putting his tenants lives at risk by not maintaining fire doors and fire alarms.
A council spokesperson said “The council takes HMO licensing and management regulations seriously”.
