Chatham landlord fined, ..again

Chatham landlord, Robert Emery, has been fined £3,500 after ignoring notices from Medway Council to update a one bedroom rental flat.

The landlord failed to carry out the requested work to improve the roof insulation, upgrade  the water supply, replace windows and specific fire precaution measures.

This latest fine, follows a £12,000 fine the landlord received in 2013 regarding dangerous electrics and failed sanitary ware in other rental properties.

Emery was found guilty of five offences at Medway Magistrates Court, after failing to comply with an improvement notice issued under the Housing Act 2004.
