Not going to happen. A large number of tory MPs are landlords and they are about to leave office why would they make their own lives harder
If they were going to do it, they would have done it.
The ban was also a pledge made in the Conservatives’ 2019 manifesto.
Obviously this is a huge priority for them given they’ve done nothing since then.
“Every day I send him (Sunak) a note or a message emphasising the importance of doing more to unlock housing supply,” he added.
And everyday he ignores you.
Everyone ignore Gove unless forced not to, he’s a humanoid slime mold
You can be assured that there will be loopholes big enough to drive a removal van through
Before or after the election?
“promise” is a pretty strong word for this non-binding resolution.
Oh great. This will fix everything.
No fault evictions are used by scummy landlords so that they can kick people out of their homes, renovate the houses for very little money and then charge 10 times the original rate.
It’s bad for two reasons, one is somebody’s just lost their home for no reason at all. The other is that if lots of landlords in an area do it or the same landlord has multiple properties in one area that they do this too it prices the locals out of the area. The more affluent population results in businesses changing and charging more money, and then other people who actually own their homes in the area now can’t afford to live there.
It will be nice if they actually do get rid of it. Of course they are Tories, so they won’t.
Michael Gove says a lot of things.
Then reinstated quietly after the election (if Tories win)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The government has come under fire in recent days from campaigners who have said its bill to get rid of so-called section 21 evictions in England, whereby landlords can remove tenants for no reason, is inadequate.
However, the UK housing minister insisted in an interview on Sunday that the practice would have ended by the time of a general election, despite his previous concerns that the courts may not be able to cope.
Last year, Gove delayed the ban until after a reform of the courts was achieved, prompting accusations from the opposition that he had betrayed voters.
The cabinet minister used an interview with the Sunday Times to warn the traditional route for young people to work hard and get on the housing ladder had gone.
“It’s simply harder for us to make that case if people who’ve got broadly ‘small c’ conservative values, or actually no particular political agenda at all, feel that they’re being shut out.”
“It is shocking that this Conservative government has repeatedly chosen to delay their promised ban on no fault evictions,” said the party’s deputy leader, Daisy Cooper.
The original article contains 541 words, the summary contains 185 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
They could have done this a long time ago…
It remains to be seen if they will, what with how they’re trailing so badly.
