Council officers clamping down on rogue landlords raided three East London properties on Thursday to discover a total of 55 people, including children, living in “terrible” conditions.
During a series of raids on rented homes in Dagenham, over 20 people, including four children were found living in an “illegally converted” overcrowded terraced home.
The cramped home was extended by the landlord with an extra bedroom in the loft and a brick-built shed in the back garden.
“I’m absolutely shocked there could be 22 people living there. We had no idea. I’ve ever heard of that many people being in a property. We will be looking into it,” property manager Iyak Hussain said.
Less than a mile away on Japan Road, another property was raided where 15 people, including five children, were found living in five rooms of a three-bedroom home.
In another nearby property on Manor Road, officers found 18 people, including two children, in a three-bedroom house being treated as a six-bedroom property.
