Housing organisations in the North have warned that they
expect a massive spike in evictions once the lockdown ends. Concern has focused
on people in privately-rented accommodation who have been struggling to pay
their rent because their income has fallen. The Government introduced emergency
legislation in March banning landlords from starting proceedings to evict
tenants for at least a three month period. But it means some tenants could rack
up huge rent arrears, which they will be expected to pay eventually, and some
could continue to have reduced incomes as a result of the economic downturn and
increase in unemployment caused by the lockdown. Read more on the Chronicle
