Labour's homelessness minister has been accused of 'extreme hypocrisy' after she allegedly threw out her own tenants and then raised rent by £700 a month.
Landlord MP Rushanara Ali told tenants their lease would not be renewed and gave them four months' notice to get out of the £3,300-a-month property, a renter has claimed.
But just four months after the group's departure, the four-bedroom townhouse, less than a mile from London's Olympic Park, was reportedly back on the market - only this time for £4,000 per month.
A source close to Ms Ali insisted the tenants were offered the chance to stay on a rolling contract prior to the house being put up for sale, after they were told the tenancy would not be renewed.
They added the property was relisted only after Ms Ali did not find a buyer, the i Paper reports.
