Eviction ban extended

Tenant Evictions.

Yesterday, 14th February the government announced a further extension to the ban on bailiff-enforced evictions for private renters in England. The new extension will be until 31 March 2021.

 The statement published overnight states:

"Exemptions remain in place for the most serious circumstances that cause the greatest strain on landlords as well as other residents and neighbours, such as illegal occupation, anti-social behaviour and arrears of 6 months’ rent or more."

 

Should you have any queries with reference to the above please do not hesitate to contact me at the office. As and when the Government provides further information and detail, I will update you with further blogs in 2021.
