The Housing Minister, Brandon Lewis, has written to all
local councils in England to underline government guidance on the advice that
councils give to tenants when seeking re-housing on the grounds of “homelessness”
when faced with an eviction notice. The landlord associations have been
lobbying the Minister for some time about what they see as erroneous guidance
given by many local councils to tenants when they are seeking re-housing. Many landlords have been reporting for some
time that an alarming number of private tenants are being told by their local
council to ignore eviction notices served by their landlords. They are often
told to stay-put until bailiffs to turn up before moving out, otherwise they
will not qualify for housing assistance and rehousing support. Read more on the
