The Conservative Party has reneged on its promise to abolish no-fault evictions before the upcoming general election, leaving more than 4 million households in uncertainty. The Renters' Reform Bill, aimed at ending no-fault evictions, will not pass as previously pledged, causing stakeholders' efforts to be disregarded. Additionally, the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill has been approved but falls short of providing comprehensive relief to leaseholders, with ground rents remaining unabolished.
I've been calling the Tories out in Parliament for failing renters in Bristol. If we win enough Labour MPs, we'll form a government that will abolish Section 21 no-fault evictions and decisively level the playing field between landlords and tenants. https://t.co/SRdOMpVvdq
Yesterday the Government ditched Renters Reform. Leasehold Reform was passed without abolishing ground rents. Renters and leaseholders have been betrayed. Manifesto promises to end no fault evictions and abolish ground rents have not been delivered. https://t.co/LqgdnLy4Q2
The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill has passed but it will only provide limited relief to leaseholders. This parliament ends with the Tories having failed to enact bold leasehold reform. Labour will finally bring the archaic and iniquitous leasehold system to an end.
The Renters Reform Bill acted on a 2019 manifesto pledge to ban no-fault evictions - nut the legislation has been dropped ahead of parliament dissolving for the election Read more here š https://t.co/8hITs2LiY4

Seems the Rentersā Reform will not pass before election. 2019 manifesto promise to end no fault evictions will be broken. Months of work by stakeholders tossed aside. Delays caused by wrangling with backbenchers while evictions surged. More than 4m households left in precarity.
