Revealed: Labour-run council using legal loophole to serve families with no-fault evictions

Exclusive: London council created an arm’s-length body to manage some of its housing stock

A Labour-run council is using a legal loophole to issue dozens of families with no-fault evictions, despite Keir Starmer’s manifesto pledge to outlaw the practice.

Scrapping no-fault evictions “immediately” was one of Labour’s main manifesto pledges before its 2024 election win, but more than a year on, the party’s flagship renters’ rights bill has not been made law.
