Millionaire Labour donor Lord Alli evicted a young family from one of his properties before relisting the property for more than £1,000-a-month extra rent, it was alleged today.
Lord Waheed Alli, who has donated more than £500,000 to Labour over the past two decades, had let the five-bed north London townhouse to the couple and their children for the past four years.
But in June they were handed a section 21 'no-fault' eviction notice requiring them to vacate the property when their tenancy expired, the i Paper reported.
Today they told of their shock at seeing the Georgian house relisted for £6,000 a month just days later – a 25 per cent rise on the £4,800 the family had been paying.
Labour has committed to stop landlords acting in that way, and today the ex-tenant - himself a Labour voter - accused Lord Alli of hypocrisy, saying he was 'incredibly disappointed' with the party.
