Plans to stop landlords in England evicting tenants without giving a reason could be scrapped.
"No-fault evictions mean that families can face the disruption and upheaval of moving home and often schools with just two months' notice," said campaign group Generation Rent.
Osama Bhutta, director of campaigns at Shelter, said deciding not to ban no-fault evictions "will pour fuel on the housing emergency and make thousands homeless". Announcing the legislation in May, the then Levelling-Up Secretary Michael Gove said: "Too many renters are living in damp, unsafe and cold homes, powerless to put it right, and under the threat of sudden eviction."
But Labour's shadow levelling-up secretary Lisa Nandy said relaxing affordable homes targets "beggars belief" - and she urged the government to stick to its commitment on no-fault evictions."The Tories promised to stop this in their election manifesto and the Queen's Speech. It would be shameful to break this promise."
