£2,400 win for Shawlands Members!
Two of our Shawlands members, Arya and Giulia, were facing eviction last year because their landlord wanted to sell the property. They’d asked him repeatedly about whether he would consider selling the property to another landlord, so that they could remain in the flat. However, the landlord refused this on the basis that he would miss out on too much money by selling it tenanted instead of empty.
Our members were willing to fight the eviction at the tribunal, something that would come at a cost to the landlord. With support from Living Rent, Arya and Giulia were successfully able to negotiate a two-month extension on their notice to leave, with a £2,400 payout for leaving the property by the agreed upon date!
Facing eviction is a horrible feeling, but we’re stronger to resist and challenge our landlords together. Join Living Rent today and be part of the fight for better housing: www.livingrent.org/join
