Labour Would Force UK Landlords To Offer Indefinite Tenancies

A Labour government would oblige private landlords to offer tenancies of indefinite length, based on the German system, in an attempt to give renters more security. The plan would seek to protect tenants from arbitrary eviction without having to give a reason. In contrast in Germany, landlords are only allowed to evict tenants for reasons such as failure to pay rent or committing an offence in the property. Tenants would still be able to leave the property if they gave a period of notice. The proposal is a change from Labour’s pledge at the 2017 election, when it committed to making private tenancies three years by default. Read more on the Guardian website.
