The landlord of an eight bedroom Glasgow house where tenants are accused of throwing their rubbish into neighbours’ bins has been granted a licence.
A resident complained people living at 271 Garrioch Road, Maryhill, had been spotted using other people’s bins. But a meeting heard there are no photographs or other proof to back up the claims.
Brian Condon submitted a representation about the situation during a hearing about William Reilly’s application for a house in multiple occupation (HMO) licence.
Speaking on behalf of the applicant, Kimberley Reilly denied the allegations at the council’s licensing and regulatory committee this week.
Asking for a response on the issues, committee chair Councillor Alex Wilson, SNP, said: “We’ve received correspondence from Mr Condon, which you should have seen sight off. He makes reference to a number of areas with regards to waste disposal etc.”
Pointing out there are no photographs backing up the accusation or dates mentioned, Ms Reilly said: “There is no evidence of our tenants doing that.”
Ms Reilly told the committee there have not been any problems and said tenants had confirmed they don’t misuse the bins at the property.
The meeting heard the council had not received any complaints about the rented property during the last licence application period.
The four-storey villa was inspected in July when two items of paperwork were requested. Council inspectors also required all mechanical ventilation fans to be cleaned. All the matters were addressed by August 23.
Councillors decided to grant a three year licence to Mr Reilly.
