A Rotherham landlord, Mohammed Tariq Iqbal, has been prosecuted by Rotherham Council for renting a property considered to be hazardous to the tenants. The rental property was damp, had holes in the walls, damaged floors and broken windows.

The landlord failed to meet an initial improvement notice for the rental property, and after two months the work required work was not carried out. 

Iqbal pleaded guilty, and was fined £3000, a £120 victim surcharge and court costs of £260.
