Homelessness Minister Resigns After Her Own Tenant Eviction Backfires



Homelessness Minister Resigns After Her Own Tenant Eviction Backfires

 

You couldn’t make it up!

 

Former homelessness Minister Rushanara Ali, MP, had to resign from her government job last week after it was revealed that she had evicted her tenants claiming that she was selling the property, but later listed it for rent at £700 per month more, a rental hike of 20%!

 

In other words, she did the very thing her own Labour government will ban under the Tenant’s Rights Bill.

 

She has not apologised, only stated that she had not broken any laws. Whilst she is factually correct under the current rules, what she did will be outlawed next year. 

 

She is part of the government that has drafted the new rules which will end Section 21 eviction notices and ban landlords from re-listing their properties for rent if they have previously stated they were selling it for up to 12 months. 

 

Rank hypocrisy of government ministers who tell us to do as I say as I do.

 

The Bank of England have cut interest rates from 4.25% to 4%, the lowest level for two years.

Section 21 Eviction Notices Served on Entire London Apartment Block


Section 21 eviction notices have been served on 150 residents on a block of flats in Deptford, South London, weeks before Christmas.

Section 21 is a legal method for the landlord to require a tenant to leave a rental property without the need to provide a reason for "no-fault" eviction. A tenant can challenge it and stay in the property until physically evicted, but they may incur court costs.

Even with a Section 21 notice, it can take landlords 6 to 12 months to evict a tenant who refuses to move out – often under advice for their local council’s housing or “homeless prevention” department.

The owners of the property, the Aitch Group said a Section 21 notice had been issued to tenants at the Vive Living development to "facilitate the refurbishment of the building".

"The tenants have been given two months' notice, as a minimum, in accordance with their tenancy agreements.".

The eviction notices may have been prompted by Labour’s Renter’s Rights Bill, currently going through Parliament, which will abolish Section 21 “no fault” evictions.

Many landlords are quitting the buy-to-let property market or switching to other rental models, such as AIRBNB serviced accommodation or leasing to local authorities and housing associations.

How will Labour’s new Renters Rights Bill 2024 affect buy-to-let landlords?

The Labour Party’s Renters' Rights Bill 2024 is poised to bring significant changes to the UK’s rental market, impacting both tenants and buy-to-let landlords. Understanding these changes is crucial for landlords to navigate the evolving landscape effectively.
