Tenants were crammed five-to-a-room in bunkbeds and shared just two bathrooms and one kitchen between them, court heard.

Landlords who crammed up to 40 migrants inside their semi-detached townhouse face losing hundreds of thousands pounds, a court heard.

Harsha Shah, 53, her daughter Chandni, 27, and brother-in-law Sanjay, 54, rented out their four-bedroom property through an agent who at one point managed 40 Indian migrants living there.
