«Breaking News» Rogue landlord packed 20 men into a three bedroom house in London

A rogue landlord stuffed a filthy and dangerous three-bedroom house - with 26 mattresses.

Officers found more than 20 men living in 'appalling and unsafe' living conditions and could barely enter the house because mattresses were 'jammed up against the doors'.

The house, which is in Kingsbury, in north west London was described Brent council said as 'one of the worst' illegal HMOs it has ever uncovered.

This is the scene inside an overcrowded house in Brent, north west London where a rogue landlord was renting out his three-bedroom house to 20 men at a cost of £1,000 a week

Every room in the property - apart from the kitchen and bathroom had at least one bed

The landlord had even fitted a ladder into the loft so additional people could sleep in the space

Police are now hunting the rogue landlord, who was taking home £1,000 a week from his despicable racket.

Every room in the illegal HMO, except for the kitchen and bathroom, contained bed spaces - including the 'tiny, windowless' loft space.

Police and Brent's enforcement team raided the three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kingsbury, north west London, in the early hours of this morning.

The raid was prompted by complaints from residents about the number of men seen coming and going from the house in the suburban street of Princes Avenue.

The disgusting conditions, for which the men were paying between £30 and £50 to live in, also had faulty smoke alarms, poor ventilation and fire hazards.

Brent Council officials conducted a dawn raid on the property early this morning 

The bathroom, pictured,  was one of the only rooms not to have a bed installed

A spokeswoman for Brent Council said it was 'one of the worst' illegal HMOs it has uncovered.

She said: 'Aside from seeing rodents or cockroaches it is one of the worst we have seen.

'The loft was just appalling - really awful conditions.'

Councillor Eleanor Southwood, cabinet member for housing and welfare reform, said: 'We have a zero tolerance policy against landlords who exploit tenants by housing them in slum-like conditions.

According to council officials the house was infested by rodents and cockroaches

Each of the men were paying between £30 and £50 a week in rent to the landlord

Some of the furniture from the house had been removed to the garden to make room for beds

'No tenant in Brent should believe that they are powerless against a landlord who takes their money in exchange for squalor.

'We are here to help tenants fight back against rogue landlords by taking them to court.'

From October 1, any property that is rented out to five or more people who are not all related will require a mandatory licence.

The men were forced to try their clothes from washing lines erected across the living room

Councillor Eleanor Southwood, cabinet member for housing and welfare reform, said Brent Council had zero 

From October 1, houses rented to more than five people who are not all related have to be registered with the local authority and hold a mandatory licence

The house's bathroom was covered in discarded clothes and rubbish

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
