On the anniversary of the Queen’s Speech, 19 leading organisations supporting private renters have formed a new Renters Reform Coalition, which is calling on the government to deliver a fairer housing system for private renters.
Made up of national housing charities, campaigners, renters unions, advice centres and think tanks, the Renters Reform Coalition is calling on the government to use the upcoming Renters’ Reform Bill to end section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions, improve the condition of privately rented homes, and create a system within which renters feel empowered to stand up for their rights.
The coalition argues that the Renters’ Reform Bill is a chance to go beyond tenancy reform and change the landscape of renting for the better.
