No-fault evictions: 200,000 renters in England served notices in three years

Shelter says a private tenant is handed notice every seven minutes despite government promise to ban practice in April 2019

More than 200,000 private renters in England have been served eviction notices without doing anything wrong in the three years since the government first promised to ban the practice, housing campaigners have claimed.

Every seven minutes, a tenant has been landed with a no-fault eviction notice since Theresa May's Conservative government first committed to scrap them in April 2019, according to research by Shelter, the housing charity.
