The goal of the Renters Reform Bill is to give tenants more safeguards in an increasingly unstable market. One of the ways it does this is by outlawing “Section 21 notices,” which are a legal tool used by landlords to evict tenants without cause.
No fault evictions are still in effect despite the Tory prime ministers’ repeated promises to ban them; the bill expired when Rishi Sunak decided to hold an election.
Now that the bill—renamed the Reenters’ Rights Bill—is anticipated to return to the Commons, maybe as soon as next week, activists are pleading with Labour to honor the commitments they made while they were in opposition.

However, James received an eviction notice on August 16 along with five other roommates, telling them they needed to go by the end of October.
