Claims that landlords’ use of section 21 “no fault”
eviction notices is the leading cause of homelessness in the UK are “factually
incorrect, misleading and just plain wrong”, says the National Landlords
Association (NLA). Research by the NLA, using the Government’s own statistics,
found that of 33,020 households assessed by local authorities between October
and December 2018, just 11.8 percent (3,890) of those faced homelessness as a
result of being served with a Section 21 notice. The same data also showed
that the top reason for losing the last settled home was because family or
friends were no longer willing or able to accommodate them, which accounted for
over 15,000 households. Read more on the NLA website.
