Responding to the news the Government is to ban Section 21 notices, which allow landlords to make ‘no fault’ evictions, Emma said:

“This is a positive step forward for tenants’ rights and means landlords cannot force renters out of their homes without good reason. There are thousands of private renters in Wolverhampton, and this move will give additional security to people who rent a home.

“Tenants in private rented homes can be concerned about ‘revenge evictions’ for making complaints about their property, and there are concerning cases of tenants not reporting maintenance issues for fear of being evicted. Removing Section 21 notices gives tenants more security against neglectful landlords and letting agencies.”
