    This is a tough one. 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.
