Housing minister hiked rent weeks after removing tenants
EAST LONDON, ENGLAND, AUG 6 – Labour Homelessness Minister Rushanara Ali raised rent by £700 after evicting tenants from her east London townhouse, prompting calls for resignation over alleged hypocrisy on tenant protections.
- Rushanara Ali faced criticism for raising the rent on her property by £700 shortly after the previous tenants moved out.
- The previous tenants received four months' notice that their lease would not be renewed and alleged they were given the option for a rolling contract, which they declined.
- The property was re-listed at £4,000 after the tenants left, compared to the previous rent of £3,300.
- James Cleverley, the Shadow Housing Secretary, criticized Ali's actions as hypocrisy, stating that she should not hold the position of homelessness minister.
