Agree

No

The party has repeatedly promised to end ‘no-fault’ evictions by abolishing Section 21 (2019 announcement; 2022–24 Renters (Reform) Bill), implying agreement that evictions should require a reason, though with a landlord-friendly reform design.

Agree

No, renters deserve the security of knowing they cannot be evicted unexpectedly

The party has used ‘security’ language to justify ending Section 21, but typically avoids the strongest tenant-rights framing and pairs it with stronger possession grounds for landlords. So moderate agreement rather than strong.

Slightly agree

Yes, but require a longer notice period so tenants can find a new home

Conservatives have tended to balance tenant security with landlord flexibility; proposals around ending Section 21 often included strengthening/streamlining Section 8 grounds and notice/transition arrangements. They might mildly prefer longer notice/managed change over an outright ‘yes’.

Slightly agree

No, this allows for "revenge evictions" against tenants who complain about repairs

Conservative governments introduced measures aimed at retaliatory/‘revenge’ evictions (e.g., Deregulation Act 2015 restrictions on serving Section 21 after certain repair complaints), but they have not always foregrounded this as the main rationale; mild agreement.

Slightly disagree

Yes

Conservatives historically backed landlords’ ability to use Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions (Housing Act 1988), but more recently committed to abolish Section 21 (Theresa May’s 2019 pledge; Renters (Reform) Bill under Sunak). So they’re no longer clearly pro–no-reason evictions.

Disagree

Yes, landlords must have the freedom to manage their property as they see fit

This frames an unrestricted property-rights approach. While Conservatives emphasize property rights, their stated policy direction has been to remove landlords’ ability to evict without grounds (abolish Section 21), so they would not strongly agree with this absolutist formulation.

Very strongly disagree

No, and we must also cap rents to prevent landlords from forcing tenants out economically

Conservatives strongly oppose rent caps/controls as market-distorting; their housing policy has generally favored supply-side measures and landlord participation rather than rent control. Even if ending Section 21 is supported, adding rent caps is firmly against party stance.
