Yes, by 'landlord' I was referring to both the ones doing the illegal subletting (thereby acting as landlords) unknown to a genuine owner and those landlords who knowingly let out their own run down/unsafe premises to far too many people.
It's a huge problem for the genuine, unwitting landlord who finds that his property has been sublet and he/she's held responsible for it with often £1,000's in associated costs and losses. Yes another reason why rents are going up I imagine.
