Housing

Unpaid rent: should evictions be faster?

The test question and the possible answers

A tenant hasn't paid their rent for 6 months.

What's at stake: The debate pits the landlord's right to recover their property against the risk of putting a family on the street.

The left's argument

Evicting without a solution creates homelessness. Rehousing must come first.

The centre's argument

A quick procedure, but with mediation and a real search for new housing.

The right's argument

A landlord who is no longer paid must be able to recover their property without delay.
