The Minister of Homelessness Rushanara Ali faces calls to resign for a rental property after reports in East London Townhouse, 700 £ 700 weeks after the end of the previous tenants’ contract.
Shadow Housing Secretary Kevin Hollinrake accused the Minister of Workers of “amazing hypocrisy”: “Rushanara Ali became a minister of a state minister of homelessness. He spoke of exploiting tenants and providing more protection to the tenants.
“You can’t say these, then you can’t do the opposite as a host in practice. He has to resign.”
He said, “We can’t just say anything and we can’t do anything else.”
Ms. Ali is accused of raising the rent of the property, which is the four bedrooms after the previous tenants evacuated the property.
Accordingly I am paperPrevious inhabitants were notified only four months last November and told them that their lease agreements would not be renewed.
And weeks after leaving, it was reported that the house was rented once again – but every month more than £ 700.
Ms. Ali, who is a deputy of workers for Bethnal Green and Stepney, is offered to passengers, the house is offered for sale and a contract rolling rolling while the house is on the market, it is understood that tenancy will not be renewed, but chose to leave.
Later, when a buyer could not be found, it was re -listed as a rental, and it was understood.
Mr. Hollinrake said that it seems to be “extremely unfair”.
When asked if an investigation will be realized before a resignation, “I think the facts are quite clear, and anyway, it is up to the prime minister to take the steps to determine the realities of the issue.
“But, as we see today, I believe that the facts of the issue and always have the right to respond, but the Prime Minister should investigate. As we hear that they are today, then they should resign.”
Shadow Housing Secretary James wisely repeated his calls for Mr. Hollinrakes and said, olur It would be an example of the most hypocrisy and should not be a job as the Minister of Homelessness. ”
Meanwhile, Tom Darling, the Reform Coalition of the Tenants, added: “The fact that we are a minister of homelessness that evacuates four people to raise more rent, something that will be illegal under the invoice of the Rights of the Rights does not take the unimaginable.
He said: “The government is currently considering making a change from the House of Lords from the House of Lords to 12 months after the release, which reduces the ban of resting.
“The government should eliminate this change and at least the Minister Ali should withdraw himself from these discussions within the government.”
Ms. Ali previously criticized the “exploitation and discrimination of private tenants” while defending the Ranies Reform Law of the government, which will eliminate the “error -free” evacuation of the tenants without a specific reason by using the chapter 21 notifications of the landlords.
The authority said that the legislation will “encourage people to challenge unreasonable rent increases”.
The bill will also stop the landlords who terminate tennis for selling the property with a higher rent for six months or longer after the property evacuates buildings.
The Rights Law of the Tenants has already passed the third reading of the House of Lords from Commons.
Mrs. Ali spokesman told Independent: “Rushanara takes his responsibilities seriously and followed all the legal requirements.”
