Nearly half of all tenants who make a formal complaint
about their housing suffer a “revenge eviction” by private landlords, according
to research by Citizens Advice. It estimated that 141,000 tenants have been
subject to “complain and you’re out” evictions since 2015. The evictions are
possible because section 21 notices under the 1988 Housing Act allow landlords
to force out tenants on a no-fault basis. Citizens Advice found that tenants
who had received a section 21 notice were twice as likely to have complained to
their landlord – and eight times more likely to have complained to an official
redress scheme. Read more on the Guardian website.
