'My landlord is a homelessness charity and they are making me homeless'

"It's just unfortunate, I literally had this conversation with [Charly] face-to-face about how much I like living here and that it's really important for me because of the situation I'm in and that it's my home. I literally said to him I don't have a family, I don't have a family home and this is the home that I've made for myself. This is the longest I've ever lived somewhere as well, everything in this property is mine so if I was to leave here, the only option I'd have is to stay at a friends."

"I would have to sell everything in here, I would have to sell my bed, my sofa, my piano, my TV everything would have to go, everything I own would have to go."

"According to the Single Homelessness Project, a Section 21 notice, also known as a no-fault' eviction, is one of the biggest causes of homelessness in this country."

Kim Mansell has lived in her South East London flat for almost five years as a tenant of the 999 Club, a homelessness charity that privately rents out properties to generate income separate from its homelessness services. She was served a Section 21 eviction notice ordering her to leave by August 11 and states she was not behind on rent. She alleges an attempt to challenge the eviction with the charity's CEO was rebuffed and she was told not to contact him again. She says the flat is her only home and that eviction would force her to sell all her belongings and stay with friends. A homelessness charity group identifies Section 21 no-fault evictions as a major cause of homelessness.
