Gurjiven Singh Chhokran had been renting out 72 Stuart Crescent, Stanmore, to students without the correct permissions.
Following a court hearing, he must now pay a total of £28,400 – despite claiming that Winchester City Council had lost his application.
In a report by a tribunal, it states that Mr Chhokran was using the property as a seven-bedroom HMO which was not licensed for the period of October 1 2018 to December 2 2019.
"The respondent relied on two pieces of evidence to substantiate his belief that a valid application was made for a licence in September/October 2018," it says.
"The first is that the respondent said he contacted the city council about the progress of his application in January 2019.
"The respondent’s assertion is undermined by his failure to give the City Council the number of the mobile that he said he used to phone the city council which would have enabled the council to have checked whether such a phone call had been made.
"The implausibility of the Respondent’s assertion is compounded by the fact that he apparently used a Pay to Go mobile rather than his regular phone, the number of which appeared on the tenancy agreement and the other documentation."
A spokesman from Winchester City Council has denied Mr Chhokran's claims.
A spokesman said: “We are aware that the landlord of 72 Stuart Crescent contended that he had submitted a valid application for a HMO licence in September 2018, however we have received no evidence to substantiate this despite giving Mr Chhokran multiple opportunities to provide evidence.

He must also pay each of the second set of applicants £1,428.57, totalling £10,000.

While the task of cleaning up probably seems fairly straight-forward, once the obvious things are cleaned away, it’s easy to miss some seriously grubby hotspots.
While everyone knows to pick up dirty laundry and clean the kitchen surfaces, there are some overlooked areas that often get missed, even in a deep clean.
These are the most commonly neglected areas of your home that can easily harbour dust, hair and grime.
1. Skirting boards
Neglected skirting boards can make even the neatest of homes appear dirty, but because they don’t sit at eye-level, many of us miss the furry gunk that can easily build up on these teeny ledges.
The easiest way to clean skirting boards is with warm, soapy water, which can
wash away the grime without stripping away the paint.
Skirting boards are the perfect trap for allergens and bacteria, so if dust makes you sneeze, make sure to pay special attention to these areas while cleaning your home.
2. Remote controls
Remote controls are touched by everybody in the house, so they can quickly become a haven for germs. The same goes for telephones and commonly used kitchen appliances.
You need to take care when cleaning remote controls, to avoid damaging the buttons. Carefully remove the batteries and spray a cloth with a gentle, all-purpose cleaner before wiping it over the remote.
You can also use a cotton bud or toothpick to gently remove any dirt trapped around the buttons.
3. Radiators
Radiators aren’t usually the most attractive items in your home, so they often get hidden behind furniture.
However, if left to their own devices, they can accumulate tightly-packed dust and dirt in hard-to-access grooves.
The key tip here is to turn your radiator off before attempting to clean it, otherwise you might burn your hands.
Using a hairdryer is a simple way to blast away dust – just make sure to place a newspaper underneath your radiator to catch all the falling debris.
Thrusting a feather duster between the grooves can help clean hard-to-reach areas too.
Finally, a good wipe with a hot, soapy cloth can banish grubby hand prints or stains.
4. House plants
Just because house plants are living things doesn’t mean they don’t collect dust and dirt, which can look really unsightly when it catches the light.
Clean the leaves of large houseplants by gently wiping them with a moist cloth or damp cotton, making sure to hold the leaf you are cleaning so it doesn’t get damaged.
A soft-bristle paintbrush or toothbrush can help you reach finer areas of the plant.
5. Doors
Smudges and fingerprints can easily accumulate around the handles of doors and go unnoticed for months or even years.
A clean microfibre cloth with some anti-bacterial spray is your best friend when it comes to doors, but if you want to avoid harsh chemicals, a diluted solution of mild dish soap and water is suitable for cleaning most surfaces.
A disposable duster with an extendable handle can help you reach the top of the door too, as well as the frame around it.
You can also use these tools and techniques to clean kitchen cupboards, bathroom vanity units and other tall storage solutions.

I finally managed to speak to somebody, I think he had spent the day answering similar calls to mine. Those really responsible were unavailable to comment on the complete chaos of the £35 voucher offer, and the clunky, out of date computer system.
Saints fans in particular, the season ticket holders, are being treated with lack of care and consideration.
Plenty of time during this period for a complete overhaul of their computer system and perhaps a little more thought next time a voucher system or any such thing is offered to loyal fans.

Jannik Vestergaard ’ s last-gasp leveller stole two-goal Timo Werner ’ s thunder as Southampton battled to a 3-3 Premier League draw at Chelsea .
Defender Vestergaard rifled home in second-half stoppage time as Saints punished Chelsea ’ s lax defending , with the recalled Kepa Arrizabalaga enduring another day to forget .
‘ Turbo Timo ’ thought he had won the day by shifting his Chelsea career into top gear , vindicating his £53million transfer fee to open his Premier League account in style .
Chelsea were cruising at 2-0 after Werner ’ s brace , only for Danny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ errors to draw Saints level at Stamford Bridge .
Kai Havertz then converted Werner ’ s smart tee-up to put Chelsea back in front , but Chelsea could not hold on and defender Vestergaard forced in the late equaliser .
The out-of-form Kepa ’ s latest clanger proved costly , with the Spain stopper colliding with the post when Adams scored his goal – and that after finding himself stranded from Kurt Zouma ’ s shy back-pass .
Chelsea would have toasted an almost immediate lead at the top of a turbulent afternoon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s smart goalkeeping .
Ben Chilwell was worked into acres of space and drilled in low towards the corner after a steadying touch .
McCarthy was equal to the low effort however , and Saints escaped unscathed .
Kepa conjured a good save to deny Adams after a smart pass from Walcott , but Saints ’ attacking raids were few and far between .
Werner quickly had the ball in the net , heading in from a Chilwell cross , only for the offside flag to deny the Germany striker .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moments later however , conjuring a sumptuous turn off Chilwell ’ s smart pass to leave the struggling Jan Bednarek for dead .
Werner then raced into the box , cut across the face of goal and still found time to add a fine finish .
For a maiden Premier League goal , this was something special – and entirely in keeping with Chelsea ’ s expectations of their big-money summer signing .
Werner doubled his and Chelsea ’ s tally just before the half-hour , racing onto Jorginho ’ s lofted pass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former RB Leipzig man chested down , chipped over the onrushing McCarthy and then nodded into the empty net .
Chelsea were rightly in cruise control at 2-0 , only for Havertz to be hustled off the ball deep in his own half .

Chelsea turned around 2-1 ahead when they should already have been clear then , and a snapshot from Ings after the break could easily have seen Saints level .
The ball flew the wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Blues a hefty reprieve .
Saints did eventually level , with Adams blasting high into the net .
Chelsea only had themselves to blame however .
Zouma ’ s under-hit back-pass left Kepa stranded , and the Spain keeper clanged against the near post amid a game of six-yard box pinball .
Adams proved the sharpest amid the mayhem , latching onto the loose ball before drilling home in style .
Kepa ’ s shot at redemption only came about so soon due to Edouard Mendy ’ s thigh injury , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opportunity to reassert his Stamford Bridge status .
The aggrieved Blues at least vented their clear frustrations in a quick-fire move to regain the lead .
This time Werner turned provider , laying the Blues ’ third on a platter for Havertz , who dinked home neatly .
Saints refused to let Chelsea coast to the win , with Adams firing wide after smart approach play from Theo Walcott , who impressed on his first Saints appearance in almost 15 years .
