For decades, too many renters have lived at the mercy of rogue landlords.
Labour have rebalanced that relationship with the Renters Rights Act.
Interesting that Reform backed the landlords, rather than voting to give renters the security they deserve...

👉Abolition of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions.
Landlords can no longer evict tenants without giving a reason. They must now rely on specific legal grounds (under Section 8 or its successor).

An illustration of a pink bucket catches drops of water and sits in a puddle. A quote from Alison from Bristol reads: it's been a permanent case of worry about the rent every month and wondering how to cover it.
New stats show a record number of older people facing homelessness in England.
Despite the #RentersRightsBill, over-65s are still worried because their Housing Benefit doesn't cover their rent.
The UK Govt must commit to uprating Local Housing Allowance.

Very engaging Peers all Ears event at @libdems.org.uk conference. Useful insight into the influence of the second chamber. I asked a question about how Peers can ensure the #RentersRightsBill moves through parliament at pace. Older #renters living on a low income don't have time to waste! #LDconf

After 4 years renting Lord Alli’s home at £4,800, a family was evicted via Section 2, only to see it re-let for £5,700.
The #RentersRightsBill will end ‘no-fault’ evictions.
GLP Solicitors are following updates closely.

❌ Unfortunately, the Minister REJECTED an amendment to protect shared owners who are accidental landlords.
👉 We've repeatedly warned the Government: some shared owners will lose their home as a result.

📈 Official figures show more than 11,000 no-fault evictions in the past year.
The government must deliver on their commitment, pass the #RentersRightsBill, and name an implementation date when Section 21 eviction will finally be scrapped.
