London renting: Why the delay to no-fault eviction ban?
A year ago, the government published plans for new laws that promised to put an end to the uncertainty caused by a tenant being issued a Section 21 notice.
This allows landlords to evict tenants without a reason within eight weeks, in what is known as a no-fault eviction.

So why has there been this delay? And what's the impact on tenants and landlords?
