Activists stage demo outside home of ‘rogue’ landlord
Acorn activists in Bristol on Saturday

A RENTERS’ union staged a protest outside the London home of a “rogue” landlord on Saturday who is evicting tenants in Bristol during the pandemic, including a disabled woman.

Tenants Fi Jacobson and Phoebe Kemp, who live in St Pauls, were handed the eviction notice after they asked for repairs to their house when mushrooms started growing on the carpet due to damp. 

Ms Kemp, who uses a wheelchair, was forced stop using her room after experiencing a sore throat that she believes was caused by the severe damp.
