No fault evictions are used by scummy landlords so that they can kick people out of their homes, renovate the houses for very little money and then charge 10 times the original rate.
It's bad for two reasons, one is somebody's just lost their home for no reason at all. The other is that if lots of landlords in an area do it or the same landlord has multiple properties in one area that they do this too it prices the locals out of the area. The more affluent population results in businesses changing and charging more money, and then other people who actually own their homes in the area now can't afford to live there.
It will be nice if they actually do get rid of it. Of course they are Tories, so they won't.
