Town Hall Chiefs Call for Action
Hundreds of town hall chiefs are urging Rishi Sunak to uphold the Tories' manifesto promise to ban no-fault evictions by passing the Renters Reform Bill before a general election. The Local Government Association, representing councils across England, is imploring the PM to take urgent action.
Changes to the Bill
Trending In The News has uncovered that the Renters Reform Bill now includes a legal duty for councils to protect evicted tenants from homelessness, even after the abolition of section 21 notices. The number of no-fault evictions increased by 23% last year, highlighting the pressing need for reform.
Pressure on Housing Secretary
Housing Secretary Michael Gove is facing opposition from Tory landlord backbenchers as he strives to bring the Renters Reform Bill back to the Commons. Despite challenges, Gove is determined to push the bill forward, with negotiations ongoing.
Optimism Amidst Challenges
Recent reports suggest that talks on the Renters Reform Bill are making progress, with a Whitehall insider expressing cautious optimism. Amendments to the bill, including a duty on councils to house evicted individuals, indicate a commitment to tackling homelessness and improving renter security.
