'Revenge evictions' are banned after Liberal campaign
“Revenge evictions” by landlords have been banned after a long campaign by the Liberal Democrats in Parliament.

A change in the law makes eviction illegal if it comes after the tenant has complained to the Council about housing conditions.

Campaigner Anthony Fairclough says when he rented in Wimbledon, nagging landlords to sort out problems felt risky as he feared he could be asked to leave.

According to research by housing charity Shelter around 200,000 renters have faced this type of ‘revenge’ eviction every year.
