CAMPAIGNERS called for a cap on rent rises after new data showed that homelessness caused by no-fault evictions has continued to rise.

Government figures showed that 7,040 households were threatened with homelessness after being served a Section 21 notice — increasing by 2.6 per cent compared with last year.

Overall, 21,000 households were threatened with homelessness due to the ending of an assured shorthold tenancy agreement.
