Is it legal to hate private landlords?

Football player Lee Barnard told tenants of a house he owns in Chelmsford to leave with only two weeks notice.  He claims that this was a mistake, which I hope is true.

He does not need to give any of his tenants notice to leave.  If he wants to refurbish the house, then he should wait for the tenants to leave of their own accord.  He could also speed things up by offering to pay them to move, but merely giving them notice is cruel.

If I read in the press tomorrow that Lee Barnard has been eaten alive by crocodiles, then I doubt very much that it would upset me.
