Government Accused of Diluting Renters’ Reform Bill Under Landlord Pressure

The government has been accused of weakening a landmark renters’ reform bill after intense lobbying from Tory landlords. The Renters’ Reform Bill, which aims to ban no-fault evictions and outlaw fixed-term tenancies, will be voted on in the Commons today.

Labour and charities have slammed the changes, accusing the government of appeasing Tory landlords at the expense of tenants.
