The number of people being evicted from private rented property through no fault of their own in the Bristol area has more than doubled since before the covid pandemic, new figures have revealed.
And the controversial ‘no fault evictions’, which leave people with just two months to find somewhere else to live, are now happening at the rate of one every day in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset.
The spike in Section 21 eviction orders have led to renewed calls from housing charity Shelter for the practice to be stopped and the Government to make good on its promise to end ‘no fault evictions’ as part of new legislation.
