Huge change for renters is delayed AGAIN as Gove kicks back ban on ‘no fault’ evictions

Michael Gove will delay a long-promised ban on "no fault" rental evictions AGAIN after dozens of Tory MP landlords threatened a major rebellion.

The ban - which was a 2019 Tory manifesto promise - will now only come into force at an unspecified date once "improvements" are made to UK courts.

Tom Darling, Campaign Manager at the Renters' Reform Coalition, said: "The idea that some ill-defined 'court reform' must happen before Section 21 no-fault evictions can end is absurd.

"The Government promised to end no-fault evictions in 2019 – what have they been doing since then? Any delay will have a terrible human cost - a renter faces losing their home every 15 minutes because of Section 21. No more delays!"
