A Cardiff landlady has been ordered to pay more than £3,000 for failing to comply with the licensing conditions at an HMO where there were "rotting" kitchen surfaces, leaking gutters, an a defective fire alarm system. Nayer Javed was ordered to pay a total of just over £3,000 after failing to complete safety works on the property.
The rented property on 50, Ninian Road, was made up of eight bedsits with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and was found to have a number of faults by council officers. During a sentencing at Cardiff Magistrates Court on April 21, the court heard that Mrs Javed, of Penylan Place, licensed the property in 2019.
She was told that the property needed a new upgraded fire alarm system, new fire doors for the bedrooms and adequate fire protection around the electricity meters had to be installed to ensure the property was safe and compliant with the legislation. But an inspection by council officers in December 2021 revealed that the works hadn't been completed and there were other issues with the property.
