Nearly one million private renters in England under threat of eviction, new research finds

Shelter and the association representing landlords have called on the government to unfreeze housing benefit rates. But the government said it has provided cost of living payments, especially to the most vulnerable.

And it found more than two thirds of private renters, equivalent to 7.7 million people, would struggle to find a suitable home this winter if they were evicted.

Mr Norris added that the NRLA is working with the government to ensure the system that replaces Section 21 repossessions - known as"no-fault evictions" - is"fair and workable for responsible landlords as well as tenants". "Ensuring a fair deal for renters remains a priority for the government, that's why we will deliver on our commitment to abolish Section 21 'no-fault' evictions."
