3 days agoRise in no-fault evictions despite Labour's pledge to ban them
Thousands of people have had their homes seized after receiving controversial no-fault eviction notices despite Labour pledging to abolish them, new data shows. Labour said in its election manifesto it would abolish Section 21 eviction notices immediately after winning the election. A year on, and the relevant legislation still progressing through parliament means that the ban is still not in effect. According to Ministry of Justice figures released on Thursday, 11,400 households received no-fault evictions by bailiffs in the year to June.
