Carly's situation illustrates the harsh realities faced by many tenants in London today. With rising rents and no-fault evictions on the rise, she describes the extreme stress: 'The impact has been extremely distressing for her and her children. The stress alone is unimaginable, I wouldn't put this on anyone, she said. It's been a nightmare.' This highlights the urgent necessity of reform in tenancy laws to better protect vulnerable families.
Currently, a tenant can be evicted with a Section 21 no-fault eviction notice after a fixed term tenancy ends. Despite previous government promises to abolish no-fault evictions, the Renters Reform Bill did not become law. The new Labour government has vowed to prioritize tackling homelessness, but in the meantime, tenants like Carly face an uncertain future as rising rents leave them with no options.
