Overview
- Reports say tenants at Britannia Point, Delta Point and Emerald House received Section 21 notices in recent months across developments totaling 606 flats.
- Criterion Capital denies a mass‑eviction policy, says fewer than 5% of tenants across its portfolio were served notices, and frames the actions as lawful, routine tenancy management.
- Residents describe confusion after verbal reassurances that notices were rescinded without written confirmation, leaving uncertainty about whether they must leave.
- The Mayor of London has written to Asif Aziz seeking urgent clarification after an earlier approach by the deputy mayor for housing, with a local councillor calling the reported actions the largest mass eviction in years.
- Section 21 ‘no‑fault’ evictions are set to be banned in England from 1 May 2026 under the Renters’ Rights Act, with housing groups warning such notices are a leading cause of homelessness; documents seen by The Independent link notices to companies at the same Isle of Man address.
