Landlords have called on the next government to urgently pass legislation previously proposed by the Conservatives which would outlaw so-called “no fault” evictions and boost tenants’ rights.
The Bill, which was described by homelessness charity Shelter as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to address problems facing renters, had reached its second reading in the House of Lords when the General Election was called and Parliament was dissolved.The Bill had received cross-party support and Labour indicated it would “happily” pass the legislation in the final days of the last Parliament, but it was not prioritised by ministers.
“With all the main parties’ manifestos committed to delivering rental reform, it’s time to bring the issue to a conclusion. Only this approach will enable the sector to look forward and unlock the investment in new housing that renters desperately need and deserve. “The best way for the next government to achieve their objectives would be to resurrect this Bill as a matter of urgency.”
