Family with children forced out of north London home before property put back on the market at 25% higher rent
The Labour donor Lord Alli evicted a family of five from one of his rental properties before increasing the rent by nearly £1,000 a month.
The family, who have school-age children, had lived in the five-bedroom north London townhouse for four years, paying £4,800 a month.
Days after they were handed a section 21 “no fault” eviction notice in June, the property was re-listed for £6,000 a month, amounting to a 25% increase.
It is understood that the existing tenants offered to pay this increase in full, but this offer was refused. The home was then re-let to new tenants for £5,700 per month, a 19% increase.
