A landlord in Cardiff was fined after pleading guilty to multiple offences, including allowing flats to be occupied despite Prohibition Orders, failing to register the rented property, and managing it without the required licence. Inspectors also identified a range of hazards at the property, including fire safety defects, damp, trip hazards and concerns about the flat layout.

Cardiff council is proposing to renew its Additional HMO Licensing Scheme in Plasnewydd for a further five years, with a consultation expected shortly. The council says the scheme has improved housing standards and safety, with inspections indicating many licensed HMOs still require remedial works.
