Renters are bracing themselves for a “tsunami of evictions” after the latest evictions figures showed there were almost 4,500 notices to quit issued in the last three months of 2022 alone.
The massive spike comes as rental supply remains at an all-time low and just two days after the Government pulled the rug on renters by lifting the ban on evictions that was in place.
Housing charity Simon Community said this means there are now nearly 7,500 vulnerable renters at risk of eviction over the next three months.
