Last night the Renters' Rights Act became law, paving the way for the end of S21 evictions.
The Government must bring in the changes ASAP to prevent more renters like Christina experiencing this turmoil.

The Renters’ Rights Act is NOW LAW!
Soon S21 evictions, which have forced millions of people out of their homes for no reason & with just 2 months notice, will be a thing of the past.
This is what our movement can achieve when we stand together.

UPDATE: We did it!
The Renters’ Rights Bill has now PASSED through the House of Commons! We expect it to reach Royal Assent shortly.
This is a huge win after years of campaigning by renters. There's more to do, but this is worth celebrating!
