The Renters’ Reform Coalition says its polling shows the public support banning no-fault evictions for renters.
Renters have paid a “heavy price” for the Conservatives’ “foot-dragging” on banning so-called no-fault evictions, Labour has said as the proposed legislation to enact the change is due before MPs for the first time.
The Renters’ Reform Coalition is warning Tory MPs that polling it has commissioned shows one in four of their 2019 voters live in the private rented sector, and that their support for the party is “now in free fall”. MPs will have their first chance to debate and vote on the Bill on Monday, but Parliament expected to rise for the end of the parliamentary session, a period known as prorogation later in the week.
“At the height of a cost-of-living crisis, tenants have been left paying a heavy price for the Government’s inaction with tens of thousands threatened with homelessness and receiving visits from the bailiffs.” The Renters’ Reform Coalition said its polling of English voters shows 72% of respondents support a ban on section 21 evictions.
The campaign group said the polling was carried out by Opinium, a member of the British Polling Council, with a sample of 4,295 voters in England between October 17-20.
