Ben Twomey, the chief executive of Generation Rent, stated that abolishing Section 21 evictions is 'painfully overdue' and will empower tenants to confront disrepair and mistreatment by landlords.
Polly Neate, Shelter's chief executive, emphasized that the no-fault eviction policy has 'haunted England's renters for years,' urging Labour to take further steps as many are forced from homes by rent hikes.
The proposed Renters' Rights Bill introduced by Labour seeks to implement stronger protections for tenants, including an outright ban on no-fault evictions and measures to address landlord neglect of properties.
A Conservative spokesperson commented on the need for new housing laws to be 'coherent and thought-through' to maintain 'choice and freedom' within the housing market.
