00:00Silently and in semi-secrecy, London and the south-east of England are experiencing the largest mass eviction by a
00:09private landlord in decades.
00:12Criterion Capital have issued at least 130 no-fault evictions across their portfolio, including in Britannia Point in Collierswood in
00:24my constituency.
00:25Those affected have done nothing wrong. They have paid their rent, looked after their homes and worked hard.
00:35They are simply victims of a voracious landlord who always wants more.
00:42Will the Prime Minister ensure that in the final weeks before the abolition of no-fault evictions, his Government do
00:50all they can to hold Criterion Capital to account?
00:56Can I thank you for raising this case?
00:59Renters should have security, and I condemn any unfair evictions.
01:03I am proud, Mr Speaker, to be abolishing Section 21, a practice that has pushed thousands of renters into homelessness.
01:11And I will make sure the Housing Minister looks at the case that she has raised.
01:14This is vista to be reached in the US Class of the World, the PlayStation District Club.
