Pete Doherty evicted from London flat over unpaid rent

Pete Doherty has been evicted from his London flat by his landlord, who says the Babyshambles frontman owes thousands in rent arrears.

Pete Doherty has been evicted from his London flat by his landlord, who claims that the Babyshambles man owes him thousands in rent arrears, and describes him as the "worst tenant in his company's entire history."

It's a believable claim, especially if you give credence to reports in The Mirror that the walls of the flat were covered in graffiti and blood, while syringes and glass littered the floor. And on this occasion, we're prepared to give The Mirror a little credence. A neighbour is quoted as saying: "Then there were the groupies hanging around on the doorstep and his junkie pals banging on his door at all hours and the endless, head banging racket. We are glad he's going."

Of course, Doherty himself probably won't notice in the short term. As far as we're aware, he's still in rehab and after a scheduled court hearing later today may well be living in prison for a while.
