Landlord Samera Hussain was recently found guilty of breaching the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
Despite numerous attempts to contact her she failed to provide a gas safety certificate for her property.
Even after the HSE issued an improvement Notice she failed to meet the deadline of 26 days to arrange a gas safety check.
Despite the flagrant disregarding of the law she was only fined £260 and ordered to pay £207 in costs. This to me seems a very lenient interpretation of the law. Landlords who ignore flagrant warnings like this when tenants lives are potentially at risk deserve to be punished and a fine including costs of less than £500 seem to me to be very light.
