The number of tenants being
evicted from rental properties is at its highest level in five years, with
landlord repossession increasing by more than 9pc in the past year. According
to legal information provider Sweet & Maxwell, tenant evictions for
landlord repossession have risen to 36,177 for the year to the end of June, up
from 33,199 in the 2011/12. The company said the Government's introduction of
the "bedroom tax" in April
could be a cause for the rise in evictions as tenants on benefits
struggle to meet the rent. Read more on the Daily Telegraph website.
