Highlights mentioned include:
❌ a long-awaited end to Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions
🏡 a Decent Homes Standard for privately rented homes
📋 the introduction of a ‘property portal’ (ie. landlord register)

👎However, other key areas, inc. preventing discrimination in renting & guaranteeing improved security through indefinite tenancies, were lacking, and we want to see further protections for renters in the detail of how possession grounds (legal reasons for eviction) are reformed.
🎉This reform wouldn't be on the table without years of campaigning by ACORN & others in @RentersReformCo. Today marks a victory for organised tenants…
📢 When the White Paper is released & consultation follows, we will be mobilising our members to make sure that the final version presented to Parliament guarantees the safety, security and affordability that England’s 11 million renters need. Join us: acorntheunion.org.uk/join
