A rogue landlord who rented out “some of the most dangerous properties” was dealt a 10 year ban on letting or managing homes.
Nilendu Das, aged 55, of Carter Knowle Avenue, was added to the national Rogue Landlord Database on Friday, September 22 following a First Tier Tribunal decision in Manchester. It is currently the longest banning order in the country and it was the first time Sheffield Council had applied for the order, the authority said. If Mr Das breaches the banning order he could be jailed or fined up to £30,000.
This latest prosecution has come as a result of Mr Das’ continuation of the most severe housing offences. His properties were some of the most dangerous properties ever seen by the council’s enforcement staff.” The database can be seen by all local authorities across the UK. Cllr Johnson added: “Sheffield Council takes firm action on poor housing practices and criminal activities. The council will act to protect the people of Sheffield and drive out rogue landlords.
