Ants and mould - tenants on new Ilford MP's properties
A London Labour MP rents out flats with black mould and ant infestations, the 成人快手 has discovered. Jas Athwal, the newly-elected MP for Ilford South, owns 15 rental flats, making him Parliament's biggest landlord.
In one block of seven flats owned by Mr Athwal nearly half the tenants said they had to regularly clean their bathroom ceilings to remove mould.
The 成人快手 also saw evidence of ant infestations in a number of the seven properties. Another resident said they had been threatened with eviction by the letting agent if they complained
Jas Athwal - who was the leader of Redbridge Council before becoming an MP - said the properties were managed by an agency, he'd not been aware of these problems, and denied any tenant had been threatened with eviction.
