IN the latter half of 2022 there was a record number of evictions.

The number of landlords asking the courts for homes to be repossessed increased from 14,436 to 20,460, which is up 42 per cent in one year.

Court orders for homes to be repossessed increased by 135 per cent and warrants for county court bailiffs doubled.
