Safety is no small matter especially in a block of flats, how many people have trouble with mobility there. In a private home is a different matter entirely,
I think it could be a matter who is legally responsible should a fire kill 10 people, the tenant, or the landlord who was aware of what he was doing, knew it was dangerous and did nothing about it, duty of care thing.
Possibly, being that the landlord could not evict the tenant because of the law the tenant was using to stay put, the landlord had no other choice than to take it to the police when the tenant refused to rectify the safety issue.
It's about safety I think not the generation of electricity.
Just as an example, a bunch of oily rags in a pile can self ignite and start a fire, believe it or not. these types of hazards are often over looked.
If it was necessary for the landlord or other people to enter the flat periodically they have right to complain.
Not that I agree with being charged with anything, but surely he must have refused to clean up. And for anyone to even know of what was happening they would need access to the flat.
There might be more to the story. I am totally against legal actions unless it is a real safety issue that he refused to address.

Maybe it was a Tesla transformer putting out 3 foot long streamers licking at the fuel container. Some people are pretty crazy, just look an you tube. People connect MOTs to the grid make them resonant and draw 2 foot long power arcs, it's complete madness, how many of them are dead do we hear about the deaths ? They don't post on you tube how they got fried when they are dead.
Skip to 7:00 minutes in this video. If I seen this guy doing that in the flat below me I would not be happy.
