What an awful piece of pro-parasitic propaganda.

According to the article, the landlords “described him as originally a “good tenant” until he was served notice to move out”

So they just… Randomly decided to kick out their tenant. And he said “no, you can’t do that. I don’t have anywhere to live”. And because of the dispute and and the legal proceedings involved he chose to stop paying them rent and the bills for their property until all of those legal proceedings are done. This piece of shit news rag even has a quote from him saying he is prepared to pay the money owed if issued by a court order. What the newsrag fails to mention is that the courts might rule in his favor that he is not legally obligated to pay that, so he is far better off withholding the payment than trying to collect it back from them later.

This garbage article is almost trying to paint him as a squatter, but if you look past the sensationalized language and just read his quotes and the facts, it becomes clear that he is using pretty reasonable protections to buy time to arrange somewhere else to live.

You can’t just agree to rent out a property for someone to live in and then randomly decide to kick them out whenever you please. If you aren’t prepared for that responsibility then you should not be landlording.
