A British Landlord has been told he must evict his tenants - because they are not nuns.
The building is a former convent but has been converted into 15 apartments. However, the council zoning only allows it to be used for religious purposes. Council officials have told him that he has no permission to change its use to allow non-nuns to reside there.
You know, I'm torn here. People can't just go around re-zoning their buildings for whatever purpose they see fit. But he has a point when he asks, "They are all decent professional people but I cannot make them into nuns. Why should the council have a say in what the tenants do for a living?"
Perhaps the council should have examined who allowed the building to be converted, rather than spending ratepayers' time on arguing the allowed use of a convent!
