Rising house prices aren’t just making it harder for
private renters to save up to buy their own home, says Generation Rent – it’s
likely to get them evicted too. A study carried out on the organisation’s
behalf is claimed to have found that rising house prices appear to fuel tenant
evictions, as landlords seek to ‘cash in’. The findings have prompted
Generation Rent to call for greater protections for tenants from no-fault
evictions. According to the study a 10% rise in house prices sees a subsequent
60% rise in evictions of private renters. Private tenants in England are now
2.5 times more likely to be evicted without their landlord giving a reason than
they were during the 2009 recession, the organisation claims. Read more on the
