Landlords excuse: building has been lived in extensively, and needs a multimillion pound refurbishment. Building was completely refurbished in 2017.
150 people served with section 21 eviction notices.
Update: There’s now a petition you can sign to counter this predatory landlord behaviour: https://chng.it/P2j7yj2xM4
The company is Aitch Group. Seems nice enough, until they start mass evicting people for “multimillion pound refurbishment” of a 7 year old property that has been “extensively occupied”.
What does that even mean? Have they been surprised people occupied it so “extensively” in a building they refurbished for people to live in?
Edit: used the actual term from the article, instead of my memory of the wording in the article.
