MARTIN Lewis has shared a shocking story after one couple was served an eviction notice.
Lucy wrote into the Money Saving Expert's ITV show and said she was served the notice after making several complaints about mould in her flat.
Lucy writes: "'It's affecting my health and destroying furniture and clothes'.
"So basically, they've been evicted because they complained is the sound of this. It's outrageous," Lewis says.
Nadeem Khan, the operations manager at Shelter, says the case sounds like a revenge eviction.

He also says those who are served a notice don't have to leave immediately.
Khan advises Lucy to contact her council's environmental health department as they could make a health and safety inspection.
If they were to then serve a notice to the landlord, that could invalidate the eviction notice.
Lewis says: "There's always routes, but often you can be thrown out with renting... make sure you know what your rights are and try and enforce them."
Lewis says the more people do to educate themselves on tenancy law, the better chance they have of defending themselves.
That wasn't the only tenancy information Lewis dished out tonight, with the money man revealing how renters could claw thousands back.
Lewis' tip is for those in London to check if the home they rent has been properly licensed.
They can do so through the London.gov.uk website.
If the landlord has not followed the rules, the renters could be owed thousands of pounds in back rent.
Secondly, he suggests those struggling to pay their rent may be able to get help by checking for benefits or applying for a local council payment.
