Six residents of Beech Avenue, in Holgate, were first handed section 21 notices in June. However, they were initially submitted incorrectly, and then reissued.
A section 21 notice allows a landlord to regain possession of their property from the tenant. All the residents in Beech Avenue will now have to leave their homes by August 28.
"I was just shocked, so many people have been here for 20 plus years, especially some of the elderly residents," said one resident, Nicola Donnelly.
"This is a street where everybody helps each other.
"How could you do this to people who have lived here for so long."
