No-fault evictions: ‘We never expected to be in this situation at this point in our lives’

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

The homelessness charity Shelter has found that nearly 230,000 private renters in England have been served with a formal no-fault eviction notice, known as a 'Section 21 eviction' in the last three years, since the Government first committed to scrap this form of eviction in April 2019. The charity has also found that while women and men are equally served these kinds of evictions by their landlords, they impact women more. Shelter is calling for the government to ban these kinds of evictions. Shelter’s Chief Executive, Polly Neate spoke to Emma Barnett along with Lily, who was served a no-fault eviction notice in January 2022.
