‘Total panic’: the effect of no-fault evictions on renters in England
The article discusses the impact of "no-fault evictions" on renters in England. Section 21 evictions allow private landlords to evict tenants without any wrongdoing on the tenant's part. The case of Sarah Ladyman is highlighted, where her landlord attempted to raise her rent from £775 to £900, and when she challenged the increase at a rent tribunal, she was served with a no-fault eviction notice. Even though the tribunal agreed that the proposed rent increase was too steep, setting it at £825 instead, Ladyman is still facing the threat of losing her home of three years. The article also mentions that Labour MP is calling for the construction of prefab homes to address the harm caused to "a generation of homeless children" due to such evictions.
