Liz Truss has been accused of a "total betrayal" of renters after it emerged her government may shelve a Tory commitment to ban no-fault evictions.
The vow to abolish the practice, which allows landlords to evict tenants without reason, was first made by Theresa May four years ago and also included in Boris Johnson's general election manifesto in 2019.
Homelessness charities have previously warned no-fault evictions - also known as section 21 notices - have caused "misery" for thousands.
