Slum landlord Israr Fazal jailed for renting 'death-trap' flats to vulnerable families | Mail Online

A millionaire landlord who housed tenants in filthy and dangerous flats while he lived in a spacious suburban mansion has been jailed.

Israr Fazal, 54, was criticised by a judge for confining tenants to 'slum conditions' at the same time as he was 'living in the lap of luxury'.

He and his son have been jailed for three months each after renting out decrepit flats - which were branded 'death traps' by inspectors - to vulnerable families.

Up to 12 families - mostly Eastern European couples, some with young children - paid £100 per week to live in appalling conditions in an inner-city area of Manchester.
