Providence Properties landlord Tariq Zaman prosecuted
A rogue landlord previously featured on Watchdog has been fined for flouting housing laws.
Tariq Mahmood Zaman pleaded guilty at Leeds Magistrates' Court to charges of renting out unlicensed properties.
Watchdog exposed Tariq Zaman in 2008 when the lettings agency he was a director of, Providence Properties, was refusing to refund deposits, leaving students thousands of pounds out of pocket.
