UK faces evictions crisis as thousands of renters on furlough or behind on bills have support taken away
The i says the UK faces an evictions crisis within weeks as hundreds of thousands of renters either on furlough or behind on payments have pandemic support measures stripped away at the same time in a ‘perfect storm’.
New figures shared with i show how 686,000 furloughed workers who are privately renting and 445,000 in private rental arrears could be at risk of losing their homes.
Both groups face a crunch date on October 1 where campaigners claim they will be left to ‘sink or swim’ as pandemic lifelines are taken away.
