RENTERS could be at risk of losing their homes from next week if the government fails to extend the ban on bailiff evictions, housing campaigners warned today.
The government’s winter truce on evictions comes to an end on January 11.
Housing charities and campaigners are urging ministers to extend the ban throughout the third national lockdown, warning that it would be “too dangerous” to evict people while Covid-19 cases are so high.
