Open letter to the Secretaries of State for Housing and Justice – 10/10/2022
HLPA has written an open letter to Rt Hon Simon Clarke MP and Rt Hon Branden Lewis MP. We call on the government to honour its three year promise to abolish so called ‘no fault’ evictions and we also call for the instatement of an evictions moratorium. In addition we point to the need for other significant medium and long term measures to protect renters and borrowers in the current cost-of-living crisis, a crisis which lands in the midst of a host of other longer term housing and other social crises.
Doing nothing at this moment of crisis, and the breaking of the 3-year-old commitment on ‘no fault evictions’ would be a total abnegation of leadership and responsibility.
