A landlord who broke the law by converting a building into seven flats in east London without planning consent could be made to pay back the rent he received illegally.
Landlord Nazmul Haq of Darling Row, Whitechapel, was found guilty of breaching an enforcement notice at Snaresbrook Crown Court, and is now subject to confiscation proceedings meaning he may be forced to sell his property in Barking.
Cllr Laila Butt, cabinet member for crime and enforcement, commented: “We are committed to clamping down on landlords who feel they can make a mint out of others’ misery.
