Over 84,000 households have become homeless since Tories promised to ban section 21 evictions
AT LEAST 84,000 households have become homeless in the five years since the Tories promised to abolish no-fault evictions, campaigners revealed yesterday.
The Renters Reform Coalition anaylsed data from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on those who claimed homeless prevention support after being issued with a section 21 notice.
The campaign group estimate that the total number of such evictions is far bigger, with research from Shelter suggesting that the number topped 75,000 in 2022 alone.
