Two Private Landlords Fined

Two private landlords from Banstead and Redhill have been fined a total of £3,000 plus costs for failing to protect their tenants from health safety risks.

Reigate and Bansted council won two court cases against the landlords because they did not comply with any instructions for improvements to the property’s.

Mr Mohammed Al Amin, the former proprietor of Rahim’s Tandoori in Bansted, refused to comply with two notices from Environmental Health Officers relating to fire safety and insulation at the flat above the restaurant in Rectory Lane.

On 25 November, Mr Mohammad Sarwar of Brambletye Park Road was also convicted of not complying with two improvement notices to a property in Heston Road, Redhill.
