Angela Rayner tells Shelter: Labour will ban no-fault evictions
Angela Rayner has promised a Labour government will immediately end Section 21.
Ms Rayner claims the Tories “have completely failed a generation of renters” by not passing the Renters (Reform) Bill.
Housing charity Shelter met Ms Rayner in Darlington on the general election campaign trail.
Labour will immediately end no-fault evictions
The Renters (Reform) Bill failed to pass before the general election despite the Labour party claiming they would have supported it.
In the interview, a Shelter spokesperson asks what a Labour government will do to end the housing emergency in England.
In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, Ms Rayner said: “The Tories have completely failed a generation of renters and people who need a home.
“Homelessness has got worse under the Tories. Labour will immediately end no-fault evictions which the Tories promised and never delivered.”
We’ll build more social homes
Ms Rayner also claims a Labour government will build more social homes.
She adds: “We’ll build 1.5 million homes which will include social homes, so we have the homes we need for the future. We’ll push developers in their 106 notices to get the infrastructure and the social housing we need as part of those developments.”
The full video interview with Shelter can be seen below. Property118 has contacted the Conservative party for comment.
We met @AngelaRayner on the campaign trail in Darlington to ask the crucial question: what will @UKLabour do to end the housing emergency?
Here's what she had to say👇
We want to speak with candidates from the other major parties to ask the same question. #GeneralElection pic.twitter.com/s7TWFcnxHL

I hope that you and others realise that I was being extremely sarcastic. Gone are the good old days when I used irony.

It seems that a Labour MP involved in scrapping S21 might want to put a motion forward that would invalidate any S21 issued before scrapping S21 becomes the law!!

Reply to the comment left by LaLo at 08/06/2024 – 09:23Really? That’s scary. There would then be no mechanism to regain possession if I wanted to sell until the RRB becomes law. That could take a while – and then it’s likely to be tricky

It is crystal clear that the anti S21 zealots have no idea of how things work in reality in terms of the business case and the financial implications of turnover for whatever reason. The problem as far as voting is concerned is that this ignorance permeates both of the main parties.

In reply to the numerous comments/questions regarding the timing of of the Labour proposal to end Section 21 applications the Red Queen is on record as stating they will be banned “on day one of a Labour administration.” This is more dangerous hyperbole spouted by a dangerous creature . She knows that she or Labour have no authority to repeal or revoke any legislation without Parliamentary scrutiny and approval.
When the Labour Party candidates come knocking on your door seeking your support just ask him or her to answer why Raynor is allowed to spout such alarming nonsense.

I don’t think she does, I don’t think she understands the situation.

It’s just vote seeking.Personally I doubt it’ll get passed within the first few months of their reign.

After reading all the comments i would suggest vote Reform who seem to be gathering strong support and are pro landlord. I doubt few landlords will vote Labour and if they win even with a hung parliament it will be another anti landlord party.

Does anyone believe that Reform have any chance of winning the election?
