Campaigners warn of a rise in homelessness linked to Section 21 notices and say reforms are needed to address the insecurity renters face.
Renters have urged the government to act quickly to ban 'no fault' evictions when a landmark bill returns to parliament. The Renters Reform Bill aims to strengthen protections for tenants in an increasingly volatile market, including by banning so-called Section 21 notices, the legal mechanism that allows landlords to evict tenants without providing a reason.
The government must act soon - and we're pleased it sounds like their proposed Renters' Rights Bill isn't too far away.' Mr Darling said the group was pleased that Labour had already agreed to certain reforms, including extending Awaab's law - legislation that would make landlords liable for property defects - to the private rented sector.
