Finally, by abolishing section 21 no-fault evictions and fixed terms, the Bill will remove the threat of arbitrary evictions from my constituents and increase tenant security. A constituent recently came to me following a disagreement with her landlord about a proposed increase in her rent and repairs needed to the property. I understand that halfway through the repair process, the landlord suspended the work and served her with a section 21 notice. This was particularly difficult given the tenant’s medical issues and her son’s special educational needs. No reason at all was given for serving the notice. This Bill and the amendments will outlaw such practices and give tenants in my constituency security in their homes.
