People renting properties from Naomi Knapp say they are now facing having to leave their homes.
Daisy Steinhardt, from Bedminster in Bristol, lives in one of 29 properties owned by Naomi Knapp, who"The institutions that are meant to protect us have failed," said Ms Steinhardt.Ms Steinhardt says she and her three housemates have been instructed to leave their house by 1 December.in August 2022 over fire safety issues and poorly-maintained properties.
At the time, Bristol City Council said her tenants would "not necessarily have to leave their properties.""The council has a responsibility to look after people who live here, as a faceless institution it's making my life harder right now," Ms Steinhardt said.One of Ms Steinhardt's housemates, Ara Keogh, only moved there in the summer."To finally have this and now have it taken away is ridiculous.
"Our officers previously tried to work with for many, many years to improve the condition and the management practices of her properties without success. "We were therefore forced to take action to tackle this rogue landlord, who rented out properties in poor condition, with fire safety issues, to protect people renting in the city.
"Council officers have provided advice to tenants who have been in contact with us, including signposting them to available legal advice."
