We’ve been in the news! Here’s the reaction to the Government’s announcement on section 21
It’s been quite a week since the government announced that they will ban Section 21 evictions, which allows Landlords to evict tenants for no reason.
Renters and campaigners from the coalition took to the airwaves to celebrate this important victory. We would like to give special thanks to Alicia, Simon, Eva and Kirsty who talked about their section 21 experiences.

The Financial Times covered the story with the headline that Landlords were facing curbs. https://www.ft.com/content/6d306a50-5d2d-11e9-939a-341f5ada9d40
