Contribution

Our Government rightly abolished no-fault evictions, but the St James estate in Bermondsey is probably the last in the country to receive section 21 orders, and its rogue landlord, BMR St James, is trying to evict almost 30 families before Christmas. Those families have sadly been let down by Southwark council, which failed to deliver promised legal support, and a Green/Lib Dem coalition cabinet member has broken his commitment even to meet the people affected. Will the Government provide time to debate further penalties to tackle dodgy landlords such as BMR, and examine how councils are implementing, or failing to use, new powers to fine landlords who break rules and harass tenants?
