A campaign to end the practice of retaliatory evictions. The retaliatory evcition campaign suffered a set back recently when the Law Commission decided not to make any recommendations regarding the concept of retaliatory eviction although their reasons for reaching this conclusion, I find baffling! Reasons stated include the fact tenants do not often exercise their legal rights through court proceedings, the difficulty in gaining evidence, and the view that retaliatory eviction does not fit within the smart regulatory approach that they are advocating. At the risk of sounding like a broken record if this is the case why do the laws we recomend work well in other countries and not here in the UK? All eyes will now be on the Julie Rugg review on the Private rented Sector due to be released on the 23rd October. Thankfully we currently has the support of 100 MPs who have signed the EDM and the growing public support will ensure this issue will not go away This campaign has been led by Debbie Crew and you can read more about her here: http://www.sheilamckechnie.org.uk/showBlog.php
