Rayner and Dowden clash at PMQs over 'pathetic answers' on no-fault evictions
But he did not re-iterate the pledge to ban the system, instead saying:"We will continue to stand behind renters and to support them. [Ministers] will take all necessary steps."
Ms Rayner hit back, saying:"That answer is pathetic for all those people who are facing homelessness on his watch. [Labour] will ban no-fault evictions, unlike the party opposite."The Renters' Bill was published in May, including a plan to ban no-fault - or Section 21 - evictions, which allow landlords to take back possession from tenants without giving a reason.
But critics of the bill have said there is nothing to stop landlords effectively forcing people out by hiking up rents, and new powers making it easier for landlords to evict antisocial tenants will be used as a cover to evict people. Labour last month called for more help for renters as inflation continues to soar and the risk of eviction grows., which includes banning no-fault evictions, lengthening repossession notice periods and introducing a code of practice for letting agents.
