Ex Royal Engineer commando being Made homeless
by Coventry Whitefriars Housing group

52 year old male with asthma. A Whitefriars tenant who refuses to take eviction laying down having had his tenancy demoted by the court to a assured short hold periodic tenancy without legal representation in September 2006

He has started a one mans campaign walking the streets of Coventry
highlighting evictions without access to legal representation and victimised by landlord for making legitimate complaints.

Whitefriars know people cannot access the Coventry law centre because for housing advice one has to first telephone for initial advice (024 76253167) on Monday & Wednesday between 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm which is always engaged
Several organisations like the Coventry Cyrenians and the Coventry citizens advice bureau have tried without success.
What the backpack poster says

Not violent, drug addict or alcoholic. Just made homeless by Whitefriars without legal representation
Why? Because one neighbour made false noise complaints that he was making and blamed him for it .

Have petition from all my other neighbours saying I was not noisy and a good neighbour

And letter from environmental services confirming my one complaining neighbour was making the noise

The real reason he was evicted was because he was complaining about
1 Main tower block front door being continually broken, which resulted in non residents hanging around the flat corridors, Taking drugs and breaking into flats and cutting exposed telephone wires and cables.

2 repairs to flats lifts that take months to repair

3 that tenants could not get a free view T.V signal and had bad T.V reception due to the faulty communal Arial

Whitefriars have issued a lying press release which they also published on the internet which can be seen at
 http://www.whitefriarshousing.co.uk/documents/press-releases/060922-tenant-gets-last-chance.pdf

to counter this a online blog has been set up at

The truth about Whitefriars press release called Tenant gets last chance

The latest news is that Whitefriars have given notice requiring possession on 5th February 2007 with their intention to apply to the court for an order for possession which the court must make where an assured short hold tenancy has become a periodic tenancy.
