Renters’ reform must close loopholes for unfair evictions, campaigners say

Tenants and campaigners have warned Michael Gove not to create a “back door” for unfair evictions as private rented sector reforms are unveiled on Wednesday.

The legal overhaul will ban no-fault evictions but strengthen landlords’ rights to throw tenants out for antisocial behaviour.

The secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities will announce the renters’ reform bill affecting 11 million private renters in England.
