More than 200,000 private renters in England have been served “no-fault” eviction notices in the past three years, despite the government promising to ban the practice.
Every seven minutes, a tenant has been landed with a no-fault eviction notice since Theresa May’s Conservative government first committed to scrap them in April 2019, according to research by Shelter, the housing charity.
A spokesperson for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said: “Our private rented sector white paper will set out reforms to make renting fairer for all, including by banning section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions as soon as possible.”
