Nine in 10 tenants (88 per cent) say they are unaware of
a new law that is intended to protect them from so called retaliatory or
revenge evictions. The new law, introduced as part of the Deregulation Act,
will prevent landlords from ending a tenancy using a section 21 or ‘no fault’
notice if they fail to address a complaint about the state of repair of the
property that is made by their tenant to the local authority. The National
Landlords Association (NLA) is calling on local councils to provide a clear
framework for how they plan to deal with complaints in order to ensure that
legitimate ones are taken seriously and that spurious ones don’t unnecessarily
prolong the possession process. Read
