The government promised to ban no-fault evictions in its 2019 election manifesto and a renters reform bill was included in the December 2019 Queen’s speech, but it never materialised, until this week.

In the meantime thousands of households have been evicted after being served a section 21 notice, which the new renters reform bill finally proposes to ban.
