Ministers exercising ‘complete indifference’ to renters facing mass homelessness

THE government has been accused of exercising “complete indifference” towards hundreds of thousands of renters at risk of homelessness when the eviction ban ends. 

With just three weeks left before landlords can once again kick out tenants, renters’ unions warned yesterday that ministers have failed to put measures in place to prevent a “tsunami” of evictions. 

London Tenant Federation (LTF) stressed today that ministers have said little on the issue in recent weeks apart from vague promises outlined in a Times report behind a paywall last Saturday that “appropriate support” will be given to struggling tenants.
