Rushanara Ali, the UK homelessness minister, is under scrutiny for evicting tenants from her property in east London and then increasing the rent significantly. Tenants reported receiving four months' notice for eviction, allegedly to facilitate a sale of the property, which was later relisted for rent at almost £4,000 per month after remaining unsold. The situation has led to widespread criticism of Ali for hypocrisy given her role in addressing homelessness and private renter protections. Political leaders from various parties have called for her resignation over the issue.
Rushanara Ali evicted tenants from her east London property before increasing the rent by nearly £700 a month, with claims of hypocrisy for her position as homelessness minister.
Four tenants were given four months' notice to leave, after which the property was relisted for rent at almost £4,000 a month post-eviction.
