‘No fault’ evictions in London surge 52% in a year as Sadiq Khan slams failure to ban them as 'huge betrayal'

The number of ‘no fault’ evictions in London increased 52 per cent in the last year - more than five times the rate seen in the rest of England and Wales, a City Hall analysis reveals.

Sadiq Khan said the data showed how the Government’s failure to ban the evictions - also known as section 21 notices - had been a “huge betrayal”.
