In a matter under the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, s 27, Revocation of Licence Appeal
Appellant: Premsaran Patel
Respondent: Rent Smart Wales
Tribunal members: Judge Shepherd Chairman
Anna Harrison Professional Member
Bill Brereton Lay Member
DECISION AND REASONS OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TRIBUNAL
1. The Appellant, Mr Patel is challenging the decision by the Respondent, Rent Smart Wales
to revoke his licence to practise as a landlord in Wales. The reason for the revocation was
his prior convictions for offences including fraud offences which only came to light
relatively recently. Mr Patel submits that despite these offences he is a fit and proper
person such that he is entitled to have the benefit of a licence. It is for the tribunal to
decide this matter afresh.
Background

for a period of five years. The Appellant had declared that he was managing five
