Increased costs and regulations are discouraging landlords from renting properties, while rising mortgages mean that those that do are putting up rents. The result is a 44% rise in households receiving homelessness support from their council because their landlord wants to sell or re-let.
Exclusive analysis by Sky News shows that the number of households requiring council support for homelessness as a result of a no-fault eviction has increased by more than 50% across the north of England over the last three years.as a result of a Section 21 notice, often called a no-fault eviction, has risen 88%, according to our analysis of new data from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
During the pandemic this was extended to six months to give tenants more security, but the government withdrew this measure in October 2021.is having a devastating knock-on effect on homelessness. Nathan Emerson, chief executive of landlord membership organisation Propertymark, says that an increase in evictions is the result of the backlog created by the ban during the pandemic and an unfavourable economic and regulatory outlook for landlords.
"Not all landlords are big institutional multi-millionaires. The average landlord has one, two or three properties," he says,"If they have to do one or two repairs in a year, that could wipe out any surplus money for them.", which is increasingly making housing unaffordable for many people.
