The Government is committed to enhancing renters’ security and improving protections for short-term tenants by abolishing 'no-fault' evictions through repeal of Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. As announced at Queen’s Speech, we will bring forward a Renters' Reform Bill to deliver this commitment


The Government recently consulted on how?the?new system should?operate, once Section 21 is removed. The responses to the consultation will inform the legislation and the Government will respond in due course.
