Jas Athwal’s tweet from six years ago has raised eyebrows A Labour MP who six years ago promised to ‘come for’ rogue landlords is now facing accusations of being a rogue landlord himself. Jas Athwal was elected MP for Ilford South at the 2024 General Election last month, and previously worked as leader of Redbridge Council for a decade. The London MP is now the biggest landlord in the House of Commons, owning 15 rental flats.
’ A Redbridge council spokesperson told The Guardian: ‘We are aware of the situation with these properties. In all cases, we expect properties that require a licence to apply for it. ‘Where they do not have a licence, we will send notices and commence enforcement action. ‘It is important that all landlords apply for their licences. ‘This is about maintaining the standards of our selective licensing scheme and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of people in Redbridge.
