Surge in No-Fault Evictions in England as Renters' Reform Bill Delayed
The delay in passing the Renters' Reform Bill has led to a significant increase in no-fault evictions, affecting thousands of households.
- No-fault evictions in England have risen by up to 50% in the last year, with over 30,000 tenants evicted.
- The Renters' Reform Bill, aimed at banning no-fault evictions, faces delays in Parliament, with no set date for its next debate.
- The delay has been criticized by housing charities and campaigners, who accuse the government of deprioritizing rental reforms.
- A net loss of more than 16,000 social homes in England last year exacerbates the housing crisis.
- The government asserts that the total stock of social housing has grown since 2010, despite criticisms.
