Camden Federation of Private Tenants

Posted by Baruch

This isn't an isolated case. There are more than 1,500 long term empty properties in Camden while ordinary people are priced out of the rental market.

It was Britain’s most expensive house. Why is its only resident a homeless man who lives on the porch? 2-8A Rutland Gate had jewel-encrusted bathroom suites and gold wastepaper bins in its 45 rooms, but has lain empty for years. With many people desperate for secure housing, what does the abandonment of this palace tell us about the UK?

If you're around during the day on Weds 27th May, why not pop in to this event that we're holding !

If you're renting in Camden, and are aged between 18 and 35 years old, we'd love to hear how you've been finding it, and how we can improve our communications and services for renters.

Landlords evicting tenants before law to prevent practice comes into force in England No-fault evictions made up one in three reports made to renters’ union Acorn in January

A few weeks ago I posted about Criterion Capital who were cynically handing out 'no fault' Section 21 evictions to hundreds of tenants ahead of the Renters' Rights Act coming into force.

Well according to the Guardian, (see link below) they now have the chutzpah to deny that they were trying to carry out mass evictions. Apparently, when they sent out all the notices, they were just implementing 'routine and lawful tenancy management['.

Sadly, in my work with the Private Renters' Project, I've been approached by numerous tenants whose landlords are making a last ditch attempt to evict them before Section 21 becomes illegal on May 1
