Email david.olaseinde@dailymail.co.uk By DAVID OLASEINDE Published:15:35 GMT, 20 March 2026 |Updated:15:42 GMT, 20 March 2026 More than 100 tenants renting homes owned by billionaire landlord Asif Aziz's company have been slapped with eviction notices of as little as two months - weeks before a landmark new law comes into force to abolish 'no-fault' repossessions. The residents, who rent from Criterion Capital, have been issued Section 21 notices, the mechanism that allows landlords to repossess property without providing a legal reason. While this practice is set to be outlawed in England on May 1, Criterion Capital, which owns high-profile London assets such as the Trocadero Centre, denies any 'attempt to accelerate' evictions before the new legislation takes effect.

The impacted buildings are believed to be Britannia Point in Colliers Wood, Delta Point in Croydon and Emerald House in New Malden. The buildings contain 606 flats combined. The situation has reached the highest levels of government, with the Prime Minister ordering the Housing Secretary to investigate, while the Mayor of London slammed the move as 'unacceptable'.

Criterion Capital's CEO is billionaire Mr Aziz, who appeared in The Sunday Times Rich List in 2008 when he was estimated to be worth £79million. He hit the headlines in 2005 when he bought the Trocadero leisure complex on Piccadilly Circus in a £225million deal. He also runs a charitable foundation which sponsors community events such as the 2026 Ramadan lights in central London.

Billionaire landlord Asif Aziz's company, Criterion Capital, has issued 'no-fault' Section 21 eviction notices to its residents, utilising a legal loophole that permits repossessions without a specific justification The affected buildings are believed to be Britannia Point in Colliers Wood, Delta Point in Croydon and Emerald House in New Malden (Pictured: Delta Point in Croydon) Alessio Ambrosj and his partner have rented a flat privately in Britannia Point in Colliers Wood, south-west London, for four years and say they received a notice from the landlord terminating their tenancy in two months' time, the BBC reported. Mr Ambrosj said: 'Two months is madness. It's like, move your home to somewhere else in two months.

It's incredibly hard, incredibly unjust. 'It was a shock, to be honest. It was a shock that this was legal. I think it's going to wreak havoc on many families, families with disabled children, it's going to be a very hard time for them.'

At Prime Minister's Questions last week, the MP for Mitcham and Morden, Siobhain McDonagh, told Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer: 'Silently and in semi-secrecy London and the South East of England are experiencing the largest mass eviction by a private landlord in decades. 'Criterion Capital have issued at least 130 no-fault evictions across their portfolio including in Britannia Point in my constituency. Those affected have done nothing wrong.' Ms McDonagh told the Daily Mail: 'Hundreds of law-abiding tenants are facing homelessness in one of the largest mass evictions by a private landlord in decades. 'These tenants have done nothing wrong.

They have paid their rent, looked after their homes and worked hard – and now they face losing their homes. 'At least 130 no-fault eviction notices have been issued across Criterion Capital's portfolio, including at Britannia Point in my constituency.
