Ranjeev Singh Sahota, 27, left his property in Wolverhampton in Britain’s West Midlands in hazardous condition with dangerous wiring and rat infestation, risking life of the tenants, The Express & Star reported. Wolverhampton magistrate’s court fined Sahota 14,000 pounds and ordered him to pay 3,703 pounds costs and further 120 pounds of victim surcharge.
Bench chair Stephen Edwards described the case as one of the worst I had ever seen. Sahota failed to attend the hearing July 22, and was found guilty in his absence of breaching an Emergency Prohibition Order.
The fine come as part of a Wolverhampton City Council crackdown on unsafe properties in the city
