And around ten people gathered in the vicinity to support the tenants.
An Avon and Somerset police spokesperson said: "We attended this morning to prevent a breach of the peace with respect a civil eviction that was being attempted in St Marks Road.
"Officers are no longer on the scene."
One of the tenants told Bristol Live he was in contact with the council and the police, adding the landlord has no right to stop them using the building.
He claimed they were provided with documents that were two years out of date.
“They are trying to evict us, but it is illegal,” he said.
