Angela Rayner has promised a Labour government will immediately end Section 21.

Ms Rayner claims the Tories “have completely failed a generation of renters” by not passing the Renters (Reform) Bill.

Housing charity Shelter met Ms Rayner in Darlington on the general election campaign trail.

Labour will immediately end no-fault evictions

The Renters (Reform) Bill failed to pass before the general election despite the Labour party claiming they would have supported it.

In the interview, a Shelter spokesperson asks what a Labour government will do to end the housing emergency in England.

In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, Ms Rayner said: “The Tories have completely failed a generation of renters and people who need a home.

“Homelessness has got worse under the Tories. Labour will immediately end no-fault evictions which the Tories promised and never delivered.”

We’ll build more social homes

Ms Rayner also claims a Labour government will build more social homes.

She adds: “We’ll build 1.5 million homes which will include social homes, so we have the homes we need for the future. We’ll push developers in their 106 notices to get the infrastructure and the social housing we need as part of those developments.”

The full video interview with Shelter can be seen below. Property118 has contacted the Conservative party for comment.

I have discussed this with some of my tenants and as far as they are concerned, apart from the possibility of me installing solar panels which causes very little disruption, they don't want any measures (underfloor heating, inside wall insulation etc) doing at all as they are happy as they are and would be prepared to sign a waver saying they refuse any such measures to be installed. This can then be lodged and means you have 5 years before you have to worry about it again.

I agree with you, even if the Tories are predicted to lose, we have seen these pre election polls fail in the past.
It must be obvious to all landlords on here Labour will crucify us.
Labour have plenty of spending promises which they are so quick to say are "costed" but i doubt there will be any improvements in the National Health system yet they will be raiding all the easy targets like CGT on the sale of your own home..
In the event Labour win we only have them for 5years in which time they will have messed everything up and be out.
It is also quite possible that the decent tenants we have will have moved on giving us the opportunity to sell without any court actions.

Some of my tenants have been with me for 10+ years. I've looked after them and they're perfectly happy to stay - for what it now seems could be forever. Seems like I've shot myself in the foot for being a good landlord!

Haha, actually the courts could end up being blocked for years with claims against us landlords who haven't, or can't upgrade their EPCs. "Can't do reconstruction work whilst the tenant is there, mi-lud". "Indeed Landlord, case dismissed".

I have 2 solid stone terraced houses and can you imagine the mess. Removing boilers etc. My only worry is the suggestion that we could have responsibility for rehoming during works.

I have done the same.
This is a voice of protest to what we have here now.
The broken Britain.

You can be sure Labour will make landlords rehouse tenants while work is being carried out and landlords will end up paying higher rents or hotel bills to do this.Landlords will probably also end up paying tenant's council tax .

So those that say they could not vote for the lesser of 2 evils think on that.
