Members of Paddington's St. Stephen's Gardens Tenants! Association have recently held two meotings outside a landlord's house in the Hampstead area, in protest against the attempted eviction of a family from their flat in St. Stephens Gardens. This area of Paddington suffered badly from the combined effects of the 1957 Rent Act, and the Street Offences Act, and the tenants' association was originally formed to combat the many undesirable clubs which mushroomed during this poriod. In the past the association has fought many evictions but few cases have been worse that the one which was subject of the protest mestings. The family in question originally owned the house in which they now lease a flat but were forced to sell owing to the bad health of the man, his wife being left to look after four children when he was admitted to hospital. Prostitutes now occupy other flats in the house end it is obvious why the lanclord is attempting to evict the family. The protest meeting was supported by two candidates in the forthcoming Council byelections, who are also members of the tenants! association.
