Rented conditions

I am unsure on the areas of law and safety
But

I have been looking at places recently (to buy) and one place that I came across is being rented.
It is a 5 bed room originally but they are renting it to about 20/25 people(honestly there were so many people here, that I could not be certain, it could be more).

It is absolutely crazy and looks like a tenement. There are rooms that have been divided by plaster walls. One of these "new" rooms then has no window.
They have children in each of these rooms. The place reminds me of those horrible places you would see in shoddy american apartment buildings.

Do landlords not have a responsibility towards the safety, of their tennants?
Also I though that there are minimum standards, that can be met?

This house doesn't meet the minimum standards for rentals in this country. You should report it to your council and have them do an inspection.
