Landlord denies evicting Doherty

Pete Doherty's aristocrat landlord has denied he is to evict the troubled rocker from his English country mansion.

Doherty - who is currently serving a 14-week sentence at a London jail - rents a large house in Wiltshire, England, but was reportedly facing being left homeless after the property's owner found the house in a state of disrepair during a routine inspection.

The star was reported to have drawn all over the walls and floors, and let his pet cats run wild inside, fouling the interiors.

But Doherty's landlord, the Earl of Cardigan - who also rents a property to the star's ex-girlfriend Kate Moss - has denied he has terminated his tenancy agreement.

He says: "I have not evicted him."

Doherty has been removed from rented accommodation on several occasions - in 2005 he was kicked out of his North London flat after neighbours complained about a series of loud, all-night parties.

Just a year later, he was removed from his home in East London for daubing graffiti on the walls and racking up more than £10,000 in unpaid rent.

The Babyshambles frontman was jailed for 14 weeks on 8 April for "breach of time-keeping, non-compliance of his (probation) order and using different drugs".
