    Residents who spoke to London Centric suspect their evictions are being rushed in ahead of the arrival of Labour’s Renters’ Rights Act, coming into effect in May. When the law finally comes into force, it will stop landlords from easily evicting tenants using ‘no-fault’ evictions, where landlords can issue a ‘Section 21’ notice requiring a tenant to leave a property within a short period of time for no reason.

    Emphasis mine. Mind-blowing that there isn’t a lease where you have a set date that you know when you may have to leave. Although it was only two legislative sessions ago that Colorado passed a renter’s rights law and it’s pretty stout. Now they MUST renew your lease -OR- give 90 days notice for a no-fault eviction only if the property is going to be: demolished, renovated, owner occupied, sold, tenant refusing new lease, or the tenant had three or more late payments. I mean, that’s pretty good for renter’s rights IMO.

      There is a lease, but the current law allows the landlord to end it early with 1 or 2 months notice. That is ending in May.
