HORRIFIC pictures show the inside of a squalid three-bedroom home where thirty adults and children were found living together.
Cops raided the home in Dagenham, East London, and discovered those inside were staying there illegally.
The property included an unlicensed shed in the back garden where a man and woman were living.
Pictures show mattresses on the floor with no carpets and electric heaters.
Councillor Margaret Mullane, Cabinet Member for Enforcement and Community Safety, said: “This is an excellent example of partnership working between the council and the police.
“Landlords and letting agents operating in Barking and Dagenham have to play by the rules.
“If you are going to let out your home, then you must get a licence which ensures your property meets agreed standards and is safe.
“If you fail to do so, we will find you and we will take robust enforcement action which may also lead to a prosecution and a large fine.”
The council will now serve Housing Enforcement Notices for contravention under the Housing Act, including fire safety, damp and disrepair.
The police, who reportedly raided the address on December 16, 2019, also arrested a male at the property who was wanted for failing to appear in court.
