The Secretary of State for Sinhogarismo matters of the United Kingdom Ministry of Housing, Rushanara Ali, has resigned following the controversy generated when it was known that increased the rental of a property of its own by 700 pounds (about 805 euros) after a change of tenants. That type of increases in the price of rent is something that she was fighting from the government.
Ali ended the tenant contract of his home in eastern London allegedly with the aim of selling it but, however, shortly after he put the property for rent at a much higher price. Something that the Executive is currently trying to prohibit under the Tenant Rights Law.
The British newspaper ‘The I Paper’ published that Ali notified four months in advance of the tenants of a property that has in eastern London that the contract ended, but then put it again for rent with a rise of 700 pounds (805 euros) per month until reaching 4,000 pounds (about 4,600 euros). The honorary president of the Conservative Party, Kevin Hollinrake, had asked for his resignation accusing her of “amazing hypocrisy”, while beneficial organizations that help the homeless also demanded the resignation.
Ali resigned this Thursday night in a letter sent to the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, in which he acknowledged that “continuing in my position will distract from the ambitious government of the government. Therefore, I have decided to resign from my ministerial position.” The British president thanks to him and highlighted his role in the repeal of the Vagrace Law, which criminalizes the act of sleeping in the street and will cease to be in force in the spring of 2026, as well as in the fight against harassment and the expansion of the vote to 17 and 16 years old.
“In relation to recent information, I want to make it clear that at all times I have met all the relevant legal requirements. I think I have taken my responsibilities and obligations very seriously, and the facts demonstrate it,” he left written in his letter of resignation. “Working together with the Vice Prime Minister (Rayner), we have achieved a record investment in social and affordable housing, and almost one billion pounds of financing to alleviate the lack of housing and withouthogarism,” he said of his personal balance, in which he also highlighted his role in the electoral campaign and “the fight against harassment and intimidation in public life.”
Ali’s departure for this controversy supposes a critical moment for the Labor Executive, who committed in campaign to the rights of tenants and prepares a bill that will prohibit owners again to put a property for rent for six months if they have terminated a rental contract to sell it, something that would have prevented the facts that are accused of the outgoing responsible, which put the house in question in question after putting the house in question.
