Since the ban on ‘no fault’ evictions was first promised in 2019, over 100,000 private tenants have had their lives torn up by a Section 21 eviction.
Renters need to know when the ban will actually come into force. It can't come soon enough.

"You see people claiming that this Bill is bringing in rent controls by the back door - it's complete nonsense."
If renters can't challenge them, extreme rent increases will just become the new section 21. The new Renters' Rights Act will give them this right.

Today, the end of no-fault evictions, a new landlord database, and greater rights for tenants to challenge huge rent hikes are enshrined in law.
While we still don't know when these changes will actually come into force, this is a huge milestone for private renters in England.

Many private renters live in damp and mouldy homes - one in five of which don't meet the decent homes standard.
The Government must announce the date for Awaab's Law to be extended to the private rented sector ASAP.

These figures are indefensible.
Although the Renters' Rights Act will make a huge difference to renters' lives, those who are worst off still don't have enough to live on.
Rachel Reeves should commit to unfreezing Local Housing Allowance in next month's Budget.

Rents have increased by a fifth in recent years since Local Housing Housing allowance was frozen, up £210 a month!!
The strain of this freeze on private renters is immense; in April around 40% of private renters in receipt of LHA said they didn't have enough to cover rent.

Last night, we defeated last-ditch amendments that would have weakened tenants' rights and shifted power back towards landlords.
The Bill now just needs sign-off from the Commons (and the King) before becoming the Renters' Rights Act!
