BREAKING: The #RentersReformBill set to ABOLISH SECTION 21 will be published next week!

🙌 This is a big victory for the LRU and wider housing movement.

We've been fighting for an end to sec.21 since 2018.

But we need the bill to stop landlords using rent hikes to evict us.🧵

If landlords can still use rent hikes to force people out, renters will face the same insecurity we've known for decades.

Join us tomorrow at Westminster where we'll be coming together to demand an end to ALL unfair evictions.
