Birmingham landlord threatened tenants

A Birmingham landlord has been fined £2,000 for intimidating his tenant.
Zahid Khan, aged 30, breached Section 1(3A) of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 after threatening to change the locks of his rental property if his tenants failed to leave. 

Khan also broke laws governing HMO Management Regulations. 

The House in Multiple Occupation was unlicensed, in a poor state of repair, and had inadequate fire safety precautions.

Mr Khan was handed 150 hours of community service and ordered to pay a fine of £2,000, along with costs of £5,070.93.
