  20. Council clampdown on poor housingpublished at 12:52 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2018

    Two properties in Grimsby have been inspected by North East Lincolnshire Council and other agencies in a clampdown on problem housing.

    Grimsby

    Inspectors were joined by Humberside Police and the Home Office Immigration Enforcement team when they visited two Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO) on the East Marsh estate.

    In one of them, four people were found to be sharing the house despite it not being registered as a HMO.

    The second property was registered as a HMO but inspectors found it didn't meet current standards.

    The Council says it will now work with the landlords to improve the properties and it is deciding if legal action should be taken.

    Quote Message

    Landlords must make sure their HMOs are safe and managed in accordance with the law. You could be putting lives at risk if you don’t."
