Tenants, landlords and agents have their say on the housing market ahead of the general election.
I have been speaking to tenants, landlords and housing professionals ahead of the general election to ask them about reform.It's the second time he had faced a no-fault eviction – he claimed on both occasions the landlords wanted to sell the property.
Mr Arnold, who is also on a council housing waiting list, is not confident reforms will offer tenants more support. With a few weeks until the general election, there does appear to be cross-party agreement that reforms are needed to strengthen the rental market.The Conservatives said they would also deliver "other grounds for landlords to evict private tenants guilty of anti-social behaviour".
The Green Party said it would campaign for councils to be allowed to impose rent controls as well as banning no-fault evictions. "We always try to negotiate before a Section 21… in terms of damage we would go down that route quite quickly if we couldn't control the problem. If they're trashing the property there’s an element of antisocial behaviour as well," she said."I don’t personally have a problem with the abolition of Section 21 as long as the courts are beefed up to speed up the eviction of problematic tenants," she said.
