This legislation make up a Government White Paper which breaks down a "blueprint for renters". The first of three major changes laid out in the white paper will see an end to section 21 no-fault evictions. As it stands, the law means a landlord can ask you to move out without needing a valid reason if you're outside of a rental contract. Many tenants live in fear of being evicted at short notice or continue to live in sub-standard accommodation because they are worried they'll be asked to leave if they complain about problems in their home. If section 21 is scrapped, landlords will still be able to end tenancies if they have a good reason, for example, if tenants don't pay rent or damage a property. The second major change laid out in the paper would see notice periods doubled. As it stands, landlords only have to give two months' notice before starting eviction proceedings. But under Mr Gove's plan, should you be evicted for justified reasons, you will have twice as long to find a new place. And tenants will be given stronger powers to challenge evictions if they are unjustified. The third major policy change Brits can expect involves tenants being repaid rent for non-decent homes. It is unclear exactly what this measure will entail, nor the factors which determine how unsuitable a home is. But it could see Brits handed refunds on their rent if their home meets the necessary criteria over a long period of time. THE law - known as Section 21 - means a landlord can ask you to move out wit){kind=link}
