Section 21 Evictions

Proceeding contribution from Karen Buck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 December 2018. It occurred during Backbench debate on Section 21 Evictions.

Is it not also the case that, because tenants do not necessarily know their rights or have access to advice, many people leave their properties, and a much

larger number of people feel that they have to, upon the issuing of a section 21 notice, before it goes to court, or at the point of receiving a warrant? They then find themselves judged by the local authority to be intentionally homeless because they did not stay until they were required to leave.
