Renters in Liverpool are living in fear due to the threat of eviction, according to a group representing private tenants in the city.
ACORN is a tenants union which operates across the country. Tom Preston, a spokesperson for its Liverpool branch, was speaking after the Renters Reform Bill was delayed because of “procedural issues”.
One of the bills' proposals was to bring an end to Section 21 notices, which allows landlords to evict tenants without providing justification. It also advocated for an online property portal, a register of sorts in which tenants and local councils could access information about landlords.
