The 鈥楢 fairer private rented sector鈥� white paper sets out the government鈥檚 long-term vision for a private rented sector (PRS) that is fit for the 21st century and delivers a better deal for tenants. This includes plans to:

• abolish Section 21 鈥榥o-fault鈥� evictions and introduce a simpler tenancy structure
