Florence Eshalomi:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
whether he plans to place temporary restrictions on the use of Section 21 and
Section 8 evictions for tenants affected by covid-19.
Christopher
Pincher: On 18 March, we announced a radical package of measures to protect
renters and landlords affected by coronavirus. Emergency legislation will be
taken forward as an urgent priority so that landlords will not be able to start
proceedings to evict tenants for at least a three-month period. As a result of
these measures, no renters in private or social accommodation needs to be
concerned about the threat of eviction. More information on these plans can be
found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/complete-ban-on-evictions-and-additionalprotection-for-renters.
