First, I don’t think MPs shoupd be landlords, but: She wanted to sell the house She waited until the renters contract expired She did offer a rolling contract to the current renters at their existing rent until the house sold They declined She put the house on the market and opened it up to any short-term renters who wanted to stay there while it was on the market She listed it for current going rate Someone took it The house is still for sale. To me, there isn’t much wrong with that, what is wrong is: She didn’t wait 6 months. Not onpy os this terribpe, but the optics are horrible and she should know that She is using a tenant agency that tried to charge them a ton of move-out fees (She did have them canceled) And… She’s the HOMELESSNESS MINISTER?!?! Sheash.
