In May, the Renters Reform Bill was introduced to parliament.

The Bill would remove the rights of landlords in England to evict tenants for no reason with only two months' notice.

Under current legislation, known as section 21, landlords can evict tenants without giving a reason.

He added: " The government's recent decision to kick The Can further down The Road will lead to yet more misery as we approach winter with shocking levels of homelessness.

" Homelessness services in councils right across England are already stretched to Breaking Point . "

A spokesperson from The Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said: " Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. We Are spending £2 billion over three years to build homes for rough sleepers, give financial support for people to find a new home, and prevent evictions.

" We know building more homes is also a part of The Solution and We Are doing so as part of our long term plan for housing.

" Our landmark Renters Reform Bill will also give tenants greater security in their home, and last week we increased The Local Housing Allowance so 1. 6m low-income households will be around £800 a year better off on average next year. "
