The BBC reports that evictions have now returned to pre-pandemic levels. Figures are showing that 9,410 possession hearings were listed by private landlords in the final quarter of 2021 compared with 9,676 in the same period in 2019. The Government has created a £65 million Rent Arears fund to support tenants struggling financially, but we are told there are some delays with the payment out to tenants. The Government is also ending no fault evictions in England in the coming year. No fault evictions, although they do not provide security to tenants, they do provide security for Landlords. It is possible that Landlords will be put off from renting properties once this change comes into force. NewBold Solicitors will shortly be preparing a vlog on the changes to the law, and if you would like to be notified of it, so you can watch without charge, then please complete the contact form below and we will be in touch.
