"I've come down to try and stop the eviction of my business, which is a business that serves the local community," said Mr Maloney, underscoring his attachment to the area.
Mr Maloney argues that his garage should be recognized by Places for London as a social value enterprise and thus enabled to pay a lower rent than other tenants.
Since comparable businesses on their estate are able to continue paying their rents, Places for London maintains that it cannot give Mr Maloney a special status.
With rent increases taking him from £22,000 to over £55,000 in just a few years, Mr Maloney's rent arrears have ballooned to more than £112,000.
