Britain’s most controversial landlords, Fergus and Judith
Wilson, whose property empire extends to nearly 1,000 homes in Kent, have begun
evicting families with more than two children, banned tenants on zero-hours
contracts and thrown out extended families where the grandmother comes to stay.
Last January, the Wilsons sparked a national outcry after it was revealed they
were evicting anyone on housing benefit. They sent the eviction notices to 200
tenants, saying they preferred eastern European migrants who defaulted much
less frequently than single mums on welfare. But, in a bizarre twist, the Wilsons have begun evicting
many of their eastern European tenants – because they are having too many
children. “I have taken the decision to evict all families with more than two
children and also three-generation households,” said Fergus Wilson in a
statement sent to the Guardian. Read more on the Guardian website.
