Rushanara Ali has resigned as homelessness minister, Downing Street has confirmed.
The move comes after she was accused of hypocrisy over the way she handled rent increases on a house she owns in east London.
There were calls for her to step down from homelessness charities and opposition politicians.
In a letter to the prime minister she said "at all times I have followed all relevant legal requirements" but that remaining in the role would be a "distraction from the ambitious work of this government".
The row was sparked after Ali ended her tenants' fixed-term contract in order to sell up, but then re-listed the house for rent at a higher price within six months, which is something she is currently trying to outlaw under the Renters' Rights Bill.
In a story first broken by the the i Paper, a former tenant said she was sent an email in November giving four months' notice the lease would not be renewed.
She said shortly after she and the three other tenants had moved out, the house in east London had been re-listed at a rent £700 a month higher.
In a letter to the prime minister, Ali wrote: "It is with a heavy heart that I offer you my resignation as a minister."

Another one bites the dust
She couldn’t make more English homeless fast enough?
The fact that there is a homelessness minister is bad enough. Hypocrisy just comes with landscape of leftist politics.
Another example of why third-world culture is wrong for western governance.
