Less than three weeks before Christmas, every resident in an apartment block in south-east London were ordered to leave their home.

"I feel lost," said Nicole Ka. "I'm trying to make Christmas nice, make things as normal as possible but this isn't normal. I don't want court proceedings."

150 residents at Vive Living in Deptford who have been served a Section 21 notice.

Aitch Group, which owns the building, said tenants were asked to leave to facilitate refurbishments, and added nobody had been told to leave before Christmas.

大象传媒 London's Salma El-Wardany and Matt Graveling have the story.
