Legal & professional editor Jess Harrold is joined by Guy Fetherstonhaugh KC to discuss the Renters' Rights Bill currently making its way through parliament.

Fetherstonhaugh addresses the social context and political history of residential leasehol that has led to the bill, and its central feature - the abolition of section 21 "no fault" evictions.

He goes into detail on how the bill will reform the law in this area, and the ways in which it differs from the Conservative government's failed Renters (Reform) Bill.

Fetherstonhaugh outlines the other major provisions in the bill, and highlights some areas for improvement he hopes will be addressed as the bill proceeds through parliament.
