On Friday, Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick announced the ban on evictions will be extended for four weeks.
It means in total no legal evictions will have taken place for six months. The ban came into place earlier this year to protect renters affected by the coronavirus.
But many feel the extension of the ban does not go far enough. Oxford City Council are also asking for a permanent end to Section 21 evictions, also known as 'no fault' evictions.
This evening the Oxford Tenants Union will be protesting outside the Oxford Crown Court, calling on the government to do more to support renters.
