One room in the property, measuring 4.5 metres squared, was deemed too small for letting in 2007. However, on 28 March 2012, Environmental Health Officers found that the room was occupied.<br />Mr Sarwar was fined the maximum of £2,500 upon conviction, because he had made substantial profit from his actions. The Council was awarded costs of £1960 and the obligatory £15 victim surcharge. <br />Councillor Rita Renton, Executive Member for Health, said: “I am pleased that the public will be made aware of the seriousness of breaching the regulations and hopefully will deter others from letting substandard accommodation for profit.”<br />Last updated : 03/01/2013<br />http://www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk/news/2012/december/Redhillresidentconvictedofbreachingovercrowdingnotice.asp<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Redhill resident convicted of breaching overcrowding notice <br />www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk<br />News release dated 18 December 2012 about a Redhill resident who has been fined for breaching an overcrowding notice.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
