MICHAEL Gove will delay a long-promised ban on "no fault" rental evictions AGAIN after dozens of Tory MP landlords threatened a major rebellion.<\/p>\n

The ban – which was a 2019 Tory manifesto promise – will now only come into force at an unspecified date once "improvements" are made to UK courts. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These include digitising the court process to make it easier for landlords to banish tenants and clearing existing case backlogs.<\/p>\n

Labour this morning accused ministers of doing a \u201cgrubby deal\u201d with landlords MPs and "betraying renters". <\/p>\n

The party estimates 15,000 tenants face being booted out of their home for no reason in the time it will take before Section 21 is prohibited.<\/p>\n

The ban was due to be a key part of the Renters' Reform Bill, which is back in the Commons today.<\/p>\n

But up to 40 Tory MPs threatened to vote against the legislation if the ban stayed.<\/p>\n

They say abandoning Section 21 would leave landlords stuck with anti-social tenants ruining their properties.<\/p>\n

They also argue it would encourage masses of second homeowners to sell up, placing further pressure on the already squeezed English rental market.<\/p>\n

Alongside frustrating renters Mr Gove is facing serious questions from the private student accommodation sector.<\/p>\n

Changes have been made to the Bill to guarantee students can sign short fixed-term tenancy contracts in purpose-built accommodation sites.<\/p>\n

However the Bill currently won't allow short fixed-term contracts for student accommodation in converted buildings.<\/p>\n

Calum MacInnes, Chairman of the Student Accredited Private Rental Sector, said: \u201cAnything less than parity with the purpose-built student accommodation sector could lead to a collapse in availability of student housing. <\/p>\n

"We urgently call on the government to come around the table and find a solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the Bill is debated this afternoon around 100 renters are expected to protest outside parliament. <\/p>\n

Tom Darling, Campaign Manager at the Renters' Reform Coalition, said: "The idea that some ill-defined 'court reform' must happen before Section 21 no-fault evictions can end is absurd. <\/p>\n

What is the section 21 rule and what are your rights as a renter<\/h3>\n

THE law – known as Section 21 – means a landlord can ask you to move out with two months notice, without needing a particular reason.<\/p>\n
