Owners of Kaieteur Kitchen, Original Caribbean Spice, Daddy O's, and El Guambra have been locked out of their premises A number of traders in Elephant & Castle's Castle Square, a relocation site for businesses from the former Elephant & Castle shopping centre, have been locked out of their shops following a 'Letters Before Action' demand issued by landlord Get Living on 15th September that they pay electricity arrears in full within 14 days.

Talk to a clear-head­ed 107-year-old today, and you could expect to hear sto­ries of ado­les­cence in the Great Depres­sion, or - if you're lucky - the Jazz Age seen through a child's eyes. It's no com­mon expe­ri­ence to have been formed by the age of radio and live deep into the age of the smart­phone, but arguably, Michael Fitz­patrick lived through even greater civ­i­liza­tion­al trans­for­ma­tion. Born in Ire­land in 1858, he sat for the inter­view above 107 years lat­er in 1965, which was broad­cast on tele­vi­sion.

As evictions climb to pre-pandemic levels, most New Yorkers facing eviction may not be getting the legal representation they are entitled to, according to a new report from the New York City Independent Budget Office. The report, released Thursday, highlights ongoing challenges with the city's Right to Counsel program, which promises free legal counsel to low-income tenants facing eviction. But the report finds that only a fraction-30 percent-of eligible tenants got full legal representation under the program last year.

But Mission Local had a bombshell revelation in April 2024, when they found that a rogue property manager at those buildings was simply collecting tenants' rent in cash and pocketing it for himself. But the city was not sympathetic to those tenants' plight, and started sending them eviction notices last August. Still, the tenants are making legal cases that they did pay rent, and their eviction cases might drag on in court for months, if not years.
