The RLA says latest repossession stats reinforce the need
for a dedicated housing court, with case waits now averaging 22.6 weeks. RLA
policy director David Smith had called for a housing court to be an election

systematic programme of court closures, coupled with cuts to the court budgets
have made it harder for anyone in the private rented sector to get justice in a
timely way where something goes wrong,” said Smith. The government stats show
landlords face a growing amount of time in getting judgment on repossession
cases from the courts. Read more on the RLA website.
