Abolition of no-fault evictions has been a long time coming – Scott Goldstein for Property Wire, PrimeResi and London Loves Property

Property law expert and Partner in our Dispute Resolution Team, Scott Goldstein, has been telling various news outlets why the recent once-in-a-generation overhaul of housing law comes as no surprise.

The new bill tabled in parliament seeks to allow tenants to challenge landlords on substandard properties without having to fear retaliatory and unfair eviction as it eliminates section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions. However, landlords will be disadvantaged unless the court system is upgraded to allow them to swiftly repossess properties where tenants are at fault.
