Despite concerns raised at the committee stage that broadening the definition in the Renters Reform Bill from “likely to cause” to “capable of causing” nuisance may have negative implications on domestic abuse victims and other vulnerable renters, the Government has stuck with this wording in the Bill. Are you worried about the impact this will have on vulnerable Londoners?

At the committee stage, the Government voted down an amendment to abolish Section 21 no-fault evictions as soon as the Bill entered law. With an indefinite delay on the abolition until the court system is reformed reports suggest that under the current Government, the abolition of Section 21 no-fault evictions may not come into force until October 2025 at the earliest. If this were to be the case, how many Londoners do you estimate will face no-fault evictions by October 2025?
