Answer
Everyone deserves to live in a secure, decent, and accessible home in which they feel safe. The Renters’ Rights Bill, by ending Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions, will also provide all tenants with greater security and stability and empower them to challenge bad practice without fear of retaliatory eviction. Disabled people in all housing tenures can apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant to adapt their home to enable them to live safely and independently.
