Tenants have been badly let down in a “broken renting system” by the failure of the Conservative Government to keep a promise to scrap no-fault evictions, campaigners have said.
The Bill was not mentioned on Thursday among legislation to be rushed through by MPs ahead of Parliament being prorogued on Friday, during a period known as “wash-up” ahead of the General Election.
Tom Darling, campaign manager of the Renters’ Reform Coalition, which is made up of 20 housing and renter organisations, said: “In 2019 the Conservative Manifesto promised to deliver a better deal for private renters and an end to no-fault evictions.
“Renters in England – trapped in an unhealthy, unaffordable and insecure renting system – have been waiting five long years for action on that pledge.”
