I think the person living there will get moved out as it's not fit for purpose, that doesn't mean they would get a council house from 2011

im not 100% sure on what you ar asking advice about??
are you asking if yo should report the person so they are moved away.. or are you asking if you should try and find out if the person can be relocated to a real house?

If you are not the person living there, how does this involve you?

Pretty sure thats illegal on the Landlord's side. The person staying won't be in trouble. The Landlord will get fined/jail if it is proven that they know the person is living there. Its quite possible that they'll be able to prove they don't know.

Since 2004 Squatting is illegal in the UK, you say "Landlord" which would indicate that it is private property and not a concern of the local council, the only thing the landlord would be liable for is inaccurate council tax contributions, that is of cause if the landlord is knowingly allowing someone to stay on their property. If however it is council property and someone is squatting then the council are responsible for their removal and the squatter will face criminal charges.
