The Renters (Reform) Bill, aimed at banning section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions, faces a promising yet contentious journey through the House of Lords. Labour’s housing spokesperson, Baroness Taylor of Stevenage, vows a torrent of amendments to fortify tenant rights. Despite reported government consultations to dilute renter protections, advocates like the Renters’ Reform Coalition persist in pushing for robust legislation. Concerns linger over tenants’ vulnerability to eviction amidst property grievances, emphasizing the urgency for legislative safeguards. The Law Society, while disappointed by potential hurdles, emphasizes the necessity of expeditious action against ‘no fault’ evictions.
