From TFA:

"There is no legal responsibility for a landlord to enforce the payment of taxes by their tenants, nor any suggestion that Aziz should be paying the bill."

This usually makes some sense. But in this case it is obviously being abused. I guess that a police investigation would need to track the flow of money back to the landlord. Or put in place better legislation. Banks for example cannot claim ignorance about their clients and are required to deny access to their services if something does not look good.
