| Subject: Statist filth: UK government bans no-fault evictions for renters Mon Apr 29, 2019 6:49 pm | |
| Joan had lived at a property in Jindera, southern NSW, for more than two years when, out of the blue, she was told she and her family would have to leave.
“About 28 days before the lease expired, we got a letter left on doorstep saying we needed to have moved out in 28 days,” the 33-year-old, who did not want to use her surname, said.
“We did find another house. But now we’re so nervous about being evicted that, to make us feel more secure, we basically live out of boxes. This is no way to live. Tenants have lives. We found out later that the owner sold the house.”
In NSW, tenancy laws allow landlords to evict renters with 30 days notice after their fixed lease ends — but a recent push in the United Kingdom to ban these “no-fault” evictions has reignited debate about the rights of tenants here in Australia.
What is the UK government looking to change and what does it mean for tenants and landlords? Moreover, why haven’t Australian governments made similar changes?
