RENTERS’ groups are calling on the government today to include compensation for evicted tenants in the Renters’ Rights Bill ahead of its second reading in Parliament.

The long-awaited legislation will abolish no-fault evictions under section 21, which allows landlords to get rid of tenants with two months’ notice without providing a reason.

But, following lobbying by landlords, the Bill will also introduce a new “no-fault” eviction grounds to allow repossession of properties.
