Write to Optivo (now Southern Housing): Stop this racist eviction, keep your promise to re-house ‘Y’

Use this quick tool to suport our HASL member 'Y' who is facing eviction by Optivo housing association.

Optivo housing association served him with a section 21 eviction notice saying that the property where he has lived for the last 7 years “is no longer used for the Eritrean Community”. We think this is a racist eviction.

We are calling on Optivo housing association:

·       Stop this eviction and to urgently re-house our member in local social housing – as they originally promised.

·       Optivo must end the use of section 21 no-fault eviction notices against their tenants.

·       Optivo must ensure that their tenants from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are treated fairly and with respect and not singled out for eviction.
