Il miliardario ferma lo sfratto di massa dopo l’indagine London Centric

If you’re not following the Asif Aziz saga through London Centric I strongly recommend it, they’ve done excellent work. Turns out that a strangely high amount of those “American Candy” or Harry Potter knockoff merch places just happen to be renting properties owned by him.

This is a really wild story, as is everything involving Aziz, but also it’s good that there’s outlets out there reporting on this stuff with sufficient weight to pressure him into stopping. This scummy behaviour is ridiculous, and had it not been for this kind of reporting there would soon be hundreds of Londoners out on the streets for no reason (except the landlord wanting to turn the property into temporary accommodation for the councils, for more money), ahead of the Renters Rights Act coming into force.

If we had more homes, we wouldn’t have people looking at spreadsheets deciding that it would be smart to kick out the tenants for temporary accommodation.
