Anthony Albanese has responded to his Sydney tenant who begged the Prime Minister not to make him homeless after serving him with an eviction notice.
Jim Flanagan, 45, has lived in one of Mr Albanese's investment properties in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Dulwich Hill for four years, but has now been given 90 days to pack up and leave because the Prime Minister wants to sell the house.
The bar owner went public with his eviction notice on Wednesday, describing it as a 'crippling blow'.
This is despite Mr Albanese reducing the rent during the pandemic for Mr Flanagan and his then partner to $680 a week, which has not been raised since.
But now the Prime Minister has hit back, claiming that he has been a 'more than fair owner'.
