Imran Hussain Ali, 34, of Cowley Road, was given credit for his “previous good character” when he was sentenced for nine offences under the Housing Act at Oxford Magistrates’ Court late last month.

Ali was originally fined £9,266 in December after pleading guilty to 11 offences under the Housing Act 2004.
