DISTRUST and dislike towards Grenfell Tower residents by landlords led to a failure to observe basic responsibilities, an inquiry report found today. 

The report into the fire, which claimed 72 lives, found that some occupants regarded tenant management as “an uncaring and bullying overlord” that “failed to take their concerns seriously.”

It said that management regarded some residents as “militant troublemakers” and that there was a “toxic atmosphere.”
