Environmental health officers reported that the rental properties did not meet fire safety standards, had a faulty fire detection system, damaged fire doors, torn carpets, cracked plaster and broken windows.
Councillor Sarah Russell said: "Proper licensing for HMOs is there to ensure the safety of residents and landlords who fail to do so are putting tenants at risk."
