Local government leaders have welcomed the announcement of proposals to stop landlords evicting tenants without a good reason.
The Local Government Association (LGA) hailed the Renters’ Reform Bill announced by housing secretary Michael Gove as ‘a significant step towards tackling our national homelessness crisis’.
The bill will scrap the right to evict tenants without having to prove any problem, known as Section 21 notices or ‘no fault’ evictions.
