Renters will still face unfair evictions under 'inadequate' new bill, say campaigners

Campaigners have warned the government's plans to ban no-fault evictions in England are "inadequate".

A group of charities have written to Housing Secretary Michael Gove urging him to strengthen legislation making its way through Parliament. Without changes, they said renters would continue to be unfairly threatened with losing their homes.

In a letter shared exclusively with BBC News, the Renter's Reform Coalition warned Mr Gove he was "set to miss the opportunity to fix the crisis in private renting" and urged him "to face down vested interests".
