Mass Section 21 evictions

  • Reference: 2025/0279
  • Question by: Zoë Garbett
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
Around 150 tenants are being evicted from a single Build to Rent block in Lewisham, after their landlord – Aitch Group – served Section 21 notices to everyone in the building. Lewisham Council, among others, have warned there might be an increased use of Section 21 in the coming months, while landlords still have this power available to them before being scrapped by the Renters’ Rights Bill. What are you doing to prepare for a possible rise in Section 21 evictions, including ensuring tenants are equipped to contest the unfair use of this power?

Mass evictions from Camden guardianship

  • Reference: 2025/0278
  • Question by: Zoë Garbett
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
Over 100 property guardians living on Camden Council’s Agar Grove Estate are facing eviction a result of recent rent hikes and new letting conditions imposed by the new property manager appointed by the council, Dex Property Management. With private renting so unaffordable, guardianships are often the only form of affordable housing available to people. Will you urge the Leader of Camden Council to intervene to prevent these evictions, by allowing guardians to continue existing agreements?

As reported by Greenwich Wire, a representative from Berkeley Homes said at a Greenwich Council planning meeting “there are controls within their residential leases that do ask that residents don’t make formal objections to our planning applications.” Given your working partnership with Berkeley Homes on a number of projects, will you push Berkeley to scrap this undemocratic clause from future leases?

  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2025
Thank you for your answer to my question 2024/4040 about the number of vehicles registered and unregistered with the DVLA involved in collisions. You said: “TfL does not hold the corresponding DVLA data so cannot provide information on registered and unregistered vehicles.” Therefore, could question 2024/4040 be put to MOPAC for answering?
