To be homeless, the state parliamentary under-secretary and rough sleeping Rashanara Ali are facing criticism to increase the rent in a house, who own hundreds of pounds, allegedly “within weeks” at the end of the contract of previous ten tenants “within weeks”.
I paper It was reported that an email was sent to four tenants who hired a house owned by Ali in East London last November, in which he was given a four -month notice that his lease would not be renewed.
It states that the property was re -listed soon after the tenants left, on a rent which was £ 700 per month.
A spokesman for Ali said: “Rashanara takes her responsibilities seriously and complies with all relevant legal needs.”
A source close to the homeless minister said it was a certain period of contract and the House was kept for sale while staying with the tenants.
He said that the tenants were told that they could live on a rolling basis while staying in the house market, but they had chosen to leave.
I Paper said that it was also reported that the house was re -listed as only a rent as it was not sold.
The government’s Rentors Rights Bill, which is in its final stages in Parliament, will ban the landlords, which ends a tactic to sell a property by re -listing it for six months.
This will also eliminate the fixed period tenure and mandate that a four -month notice should be given by a landlord who wishes to capture a property to sell.
