More than 100 people on five housing estates are told they must look for somewhere else to live.
More than 100 people on five housing estates in south London have been told they must look for somewhere else to live.
Mylene Lejuste and her husband signed a two-year lease in January 2022 and last November agreed to a renewal.Their son, aged six, attends a local school and they said they felt part of the local community. In anticipation of demolition in 2017, it started moving social tenants off and buying back leaseholder properties.Some of the former leaseholder properties were reoccupied by private tenants after the council set up an arms length management company called Homes For Lambeth .
Pete Elliott, a former Green Party local councillor who lived on the Central Hill Estate for seven years, said private tenants had been treated appallingly.He said: "There is no reason to move the private tenants off - they are paying a lot of money in rent."We've got dozens of empty homes across the five estates they want to regenerate.
