UNFAIR rent hikes “could become a back door to no-fault evictions,” tenants warned today ahead of a major day of action in Westminster.

Tuesday’s event, organised by the Renters Reform Coalition, is set to see hundreds of campaigners meet MPs to demand basic security for renters amid the spiralling cost of living.

The London Renters Union (LRU) urged Tory ministers to ensure the long-delayed Renters Reform Bill, which aims to ban Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, “redresses the power imbalance between renters and landlords.”
