And so we have it, the day we will see the biggest shake up in our sector for 30+ years. The Renters’ Rights Bill, introduced into Parliament today, will ban Section 21 repossessions for new and existing tenancies, extend Awaab’s Law into the private rented sector and end blanket bans for those on benefits or with children. The BBC report a doubling of notice periods across the board - so four months. I’ll be talking to Justin Webb on the Today program at 07:12, Nick Ferrari of LBC at 8, channel 5 at 10 making the point that whilst giving renters greater rights is welcome, there must be a careful balance so that landlords retain confidence. Extra regulation only works if you have the homes left to regulate. A failure to ensure a properly functioning court system means these reforms will be doomed to failure if that careful balance isn’t struck. Others will be talking down our sector, I will be providing an alternative voice - one that champions it. Tin hat firmly on 💪🏻 Government to propose ban on no-fault evictions https://lnkd.in/eRnR-h8U National Residential Landlords Association - NRLA
Aim for no-fault eviction ban to be in place by summer

Yesterday the Renters Reform Bill had its third reading in parliament. Let's have a look at the key takeaways from the reading ... 👉MPs have voted in favour of the government's Renters' Reform Bill - despite it including an indefinite delay to the end of no-fault evictions. 👉Despite outrage from charities, campaigners and opposition parties around the measures, it got the backing of the majority of MPs - and the bill passed its final stage in the Commons 👉A debate on the legislation including a new clause from the government which would hold off outlawing Section 21s until a review of the courts system had taken place. So, what is a Section 21 Notice ❓️ 👉A Section 21 notice is the legal mechanism allowing landlords to evict tenants without providing a reason, which creates uncertainty for those who rent their homes. The government first promised to ban the notices five years ago. This was when Theresa May was prime minister What is the DLUHC stance on the bill ❓️ 👉Their commitment to scrap Section 21 no-fault evictions as soon as possible is unchanged. They have said that they will give six months notice before ending Section 21 for all new tenancies. 👉In addition to this, they have committed to ensuring improvements in the courts service are rapidly implemented before extending this abolition to all existing tenancies. #rentersreformbill #DLUHC #parliament #section21 #nofaultevictions #socialhousing Danny Key Steven Walton MBA

I’m proud to support the Renters’ Rights Bill, which directly addresses many of the housing concerns raised by residents here in Rugby and across the country. Housing is a fundamental human right, yet for too long, the private rental market has left many families and young people vulnerable. This new legislation aims to fix that. I commend the Government for renaming it the Renters’ Rights Bill, emphasising that this is about protecting people’s rights. The Bill introduces key measures that will have a real impact: ➡️ Controlling rent increases: This will provide much-needed relief for tenants, ensuring rent hikes are more predictable and require at least two months’ notice. ➡️ Abolishing section 21 no-fault evictions: Tenants will no longer live in fear of being evicted without reason, giving families the stability they deserve. We often talk about achieving monumental feats, like landing on the moon or building the Elizabeth Line, yet we struggle with the basics like ensuring decent, affordable housing. This is what I call the “moon-landing paradox.” It’s time to tackle the basics, and this Government is doing just that. I’m confident that with this Bill, we’ll see real, positive change for renters in Rugby and across the UK. Housing shouldn’t be a privilege—it’s a right, and we’re making sure that right is protected. #RentersRights #EndNoFaultEvictions #StrongerCommunity

At long last, we see the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Bill to Parliament—a significant moment for renters across England, bringing overdue protections and standards. From observing the experiences of Scotland and Wales, we’ve learned a crucial lesson: enacting new laws is only the beginning. Effective implementation is key. Dedicated resources and focused efforts will be essential to bridge the implementation gap. I’m eager to see how England will tackle this challenge and ensure these new protections and standards are fully realised. This is a significant step towards fairer housing, and I look forward to the positive impact it will bring. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/e7kjf2Wd

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 28, 2024 Statement from Northwest Housing Alternatives on U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on Grants Pass v. Johnson PORTLAND, ORE. - Today Board Vice Chair Kelsey Heilman and Executive Director Trell Anderson of Northwest Housing Alternatives, an affordable housing nonprofit in the Pacific Northwest, issued the following media statement on today’s U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in the Oregon case of Grants Pass v. Johnson on the rights of people who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness to sleep in public spaces: “Northwest Housing Alternatives is deeply troubled to learn that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of targeting and systemically punishing people experiencing homelessness. Everyone deserves a safe place to sleep at night. We know in our collective conscience that there are not enough shelters or affordable housing options in our region—and across the country. If any one of us had a family member experience homelessness, we would want them to be treated with dignity and support, not taken to jail. The U.S. Supreme Court just made it more treacherous than ever before to be an unhoused member of our country. This ruling will needlessly criminalize and dehumanize women, seniors, Veterans, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people of color who experience homelessness at disproportionate rates. Children could be separated from their parents for just being a homeless family. The ruling allows for local communities to make decisions that not only impact individuals, but also local systems such as public health, law enforcement, and the courts—already overburdened. Instead of reinforcing an upstream approach to tackling the economic issues of homelessness, the ruling allows local communities to shun responsibility. The ruling just made the nonprofit mission-focused work of Northwest Housing Alternatives that much more important in supporting families experiencing homelessness and providing opportunity through housing. Fortunately in Oregon, lawmakers had the foresight and compassion to enact state law that protect families from the harshest impacts of the ruling.” ### About Northwest Housing Alternatives Founded in 1982, Northwest Housing Alternatives (NHA) is a leading not-for-profit developer of affordable housing in Oregon. Our mission is to create opportunity through housing. To that end, NHA develops, builds, and manages rental housing designed for Oregonians with extremely limited incomes including families, Veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Rightfully, the proposed bill will push private landlords to address serious property issues through the introduction of non-compliance fines and strict time-scaling on major repairs. However, if landlords are to be constrained further by no-fault evictions, incentives should also be introduced enabling them to improve the quality of private rented stock, or you will face an even greater number of private landlords exiting the market and limiting further the availability of rental homes for tenants.
New Renters’ Rights Bill would ban ‘no fault’ evictions and bring Awaab’s Law to private rental sector
