At the last count Robert Jenrick, the Housing and Communities Secretary, owned at least three properties.
This Sunday a policy comes into effect that could see tens of thousands of families kicked out of their one and only home.
That is when the temporary ban on landlords evicting tenants comes to an end.
Charities are warning that more than 200,000 renters are at risk of being made homeless in the run-up to winter as a result.
Many have fallen behind with their rent simply because they were furloughed or lost their jobs during the pandemic.
Evicting them will only worsen the housing crisis. Too many people are forced to live in sub-standard accommodation already.
The number of children living in B&Bs or temporary shelter has hit a 14-year high.
That figure is only going to rise unless the Communities Secretary changes his mind.
Mr Jenrick needs to leave whichever one of his three ivory towers he is currently residing in and do the decent thing.
He should extend the ban on evictions and come up with a plan to give people the safe and affordable housing they deserve.
