TENANT rights activists in Bristol have celebrated victory for community justice after halting landlords’ attempt to carry out an “illegal eviction.”

Acorn tenants’ union member Cyrus, who has not given his surname, was told on March 5 by rental agency Murrays Home Lettings that he was to be evicted from his home in Bristol.

He says the eviction was related to his demand that the landlord improve poor conditions in his house.
