Just heard on Regional TV News about a 66 years old Landlord who illegally evicted 2 students by changing the locks to their rented premises.
At Nottingham Crown Court today the result was that LL was fined £14,000 and ordered to repay all the rent he had collected from them of £37,000. He also received a 4 months suspended prison sentence. The premises were also considered to be in a dilapidated condition.
Just in case any LL out there who is perhaps thinking along these lines, it just goes to show just how expensive new locks are these days!
