Tenacious tenants

-

sir – Tony Hill (Letters, June 18) highlights that the effective way to evict “at-fault” tenants is to use “no-fault” legislatio­n.

I had a tenant who dealt drugs, pulled a knife on the police and didn’t pay his rent. Legal advice was that he could be evicted on a “no-fault” basis in two months or “at fault” in maybe a year. The choice was obvious.

The term “no-fault eviction” is one of the greatest misnomers of our time. Janet Bartholome­w Henley-on-thames, Oxfordshir­e
