THE number of “no-fault” evictions has risen by a third in the last year despite Tory promises to end the practice, shocking new figures show.

The data, published by the Ministry of Justice today, shows that 30,230 evictions under Section 21 of the Housing Act were served by landlords last year, compared to 23,822 in 2022.

The number of households that saw their homes repossessed by county court bailiffs jumped by 49 per cent, to 9,457.
