The government committed in February to abolishing section 21 “no-fault” evictions in this parliament — which means landlords in England can ask tenants to leave with two months’ notice — but a change in the law will not come at least until after the summer recess.
A record number of renters requested help with no-fault evictions in May from Citizens Advice, the charity said, with May seeing a 25% increase on the same month last year. The last quarter of 2022 saw London no-fault evictions rise by 76% on the year before.
