Landlords Warned Over Risks from Rogue Commercial Tenants

Landlords are being urged to help prevent illegal tobacco sales from retail premises by carrying out proper checks on tenants and responding quickly to any concerns. This warning comes after Oxfordshire County Council trading standards conducted investigations into the supply and sale of illegal tobacco products from shops in the county.

Letting agents and inventory clerks are reminded of the importance of due diligence when letting commercial properties. The report highlights the need for vigilance to help stop illegal activities in retail units.
