Swansea landlord, Peter Tefion Jones has been found guilty of numerous safety offences and ordered to pay more than £10,000 in fines.
The property which he has rented out to students for the last 13 years was found to have insufficient fire fighting equipment and fire escapes.
Councillor John Hague said “This is an excellent result. The level of fine shows the seriousness of these offences. Landlords who rent out property have a duty to manage them well to protect the health and safety of the tenants.”
