'We were kicked out of our flat after complaining'
Chiara told the BBC that she, her husband Ben and their three-year-old daughter Maggie had "lived with disrepair for two years" in a flat in Leyton, London.
With mould and damp also causing problems, Chiara complained about the state of the flat to her landlord."We were kicked out because we complained."Chiara, who is a teacher in Walthamstow, said that after they got the notice in January, the family experienced a frantic search to find a new home, finally moving into a new place two weeks ago.
The research found that 76% of private renters in England have experienced disrepair in the last year, and a quarter of renters have not asked for repairs to be carried out due to fear of eviction.She added there needed to be a "situation where landlords can evict people for legitimate reasons, and can't evict them just because they complain about the poor condition of their home".
