Should be prosecuted. ****ing dumb to let them get away with it.

any other illegal landlord would get done if their place burned down with the tenants inside.

They should also be removed from any housing list.

The whole point of social housing is you're given it at subsidised rent because you can't afford housing otherwise, and then these ****s go and rent it out at probably double what they pay.

The amnesty for sub-letting landlords is an utter disgrace and makes a mockery of the law. However, the real point of it is that the authorities a/ need to know how many people were in the flats and b/ know that any attempt to prosecute anyone at all who appears to be any sort of a resident of Grenfell (even if they were actually illegally sub-letting) will be portrayed as an act of barbarism by the left, will be met with howls of outrage and will be cynically exploited for political gain.

they have bottled out of prosecuting anyone solely because of the left have turned an absolute tragedy into a political hot potato.

I can't work out how it works though. Won't they have to pay to live somewhere else?
or do they just sneak into a family members place and stay there and get free monies.

Someone letting out one of those flats could probably rent somewhere outside of london and make a nice profit. Or they could be living with family members like you said.
