Landlords 'evicting tenants' to make Olympic profit. 8 May 2012Last updated at 06:59 ET Tenant Ninna Thorhuge: "Everything is done in the name of the Olympics" Tenants in east London are being evicted from their homes as landlords attempt to cash in on the Olympics, BBC News has learned.
The housing charity Shelter says it has seen more evidence of landlords acting unscrupulously and evicting people illegally. One estate agent said properties typically rented for £350 per week were being marketed for £6,000 per week. Shelter fears the problem will get worse as the Games approach.
