A landlord in Sheffield has been banned from letting or managing houses for 10 years, the longest ban in the country.
Nilendu Das, 55, repeatedly rented out “hazardous” homes, Sheffield Council said.
He has also been added to the national Rogue Landlord Database following a First Tier Tribunal decision in Manchester.
Cllr Douglas Johnson, chair of the housing committee in Sheffield, said: “The length of Nilendu Das’ banning order reflects the seriousness of his actions and his flagrant disregard for fire safety and the safety of his tenants.
“We are very happy to see his name on the Rogue Landlord Database.
“Mr Das has a long history of operating and managing extremely poor quality housing and has been prosecuted numerous times by the council.
“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.”
If Das breaches the banning order he could be jailed or fined up to £30,000.
