Shadow Secretary for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Angela Rayner, has promised to implement a full post election win ban on Section 21 evictions.

Update from the Ministry of Justice reveals that despite attempts to recruit more judges, landlords and agents still face huge delays with evictions.

PayProp UK boss Neil Cobbold says no amount of rental reform will bring down homelessness if the Renters (Reform) Bill causes landlords to exit.

Romans' boss Michael Cook says changes will avoid double insecurity for tenants with the Bill is expected to enter its second reading later today.

The Government has pledged that section 21 ‘no fault’ repossessions will not be scrapped until improvements have been made to the way courts handle legitimate possession cases.

Managing Director Michael Cook also wants court, planning and greenbelt reform, an increase in social housing and an end to inheritance tax.

Housing Secretary says landlords provide tenants “with flexibility and choice, and the value for money options that go with them”.

Speaking at the Propertymark One conference this week Faulkner warned there was a danger of even more ill-informed landlords leaving the sector.
