Hundreds of homeless people vs one rich landlord? I know who I would pick in a fight!

Saving a click: “the same landlord” is Asif Aziz, some billionaire asshole in the Middle East.

Residents who spoke to London Centric suspect their evictions are being rushed in ahead of the arrival of Labour’s Renters’ Rights Act, coming into effect in May. When the law finally comes into force, it will stop landlords from easily evicting tenants using ‘no-fault’ evictions, where landlords can issue a ‘Section 21’ notice requiring a tenant to leave a property within a short period of time for no reason.

Emphasis mine. Mind-blowing that there isn't a lease where you have a set date that you know when you may have to leave. Although it was only two legislative sessions ago that Colorado passed a renter's rights law and it's pretty stout. Now they MUST renew your lease -OR- give 90 days notice for a no-fault eviction only if the property is going to be: demolished, renovated, owner occupied, sold, tenant refusing new lease, or the tenant had three or more late payments. I mean, that's pretty good for renter's rights IMO.

There is a lease, but the current law allows the landlord to end it early with 1 or 2 months notice. That is ending in May.

Hundreds of homeless people versus the thousands of people that the system has set up against them. Police, judges, pencillers, city councils, the fucking accountants and data entry types and secretaries all just 'doing their job.' Then all the locksmiths and plumbers and electricians/linemen and construction trades... and the hundreds of homeless people aren't even really 'hundreds.' They're isolated from each other as much as from the rest of society; targets just sitting for the rich fucks to pick off.

The system fucking sucks.

Let me guess, until May the tenant cannot end the lease with 1 or 2 months notice.

The population of ethical landlords needs to be massively expanded.

And by ethical, I mean former.
