Ending unfair evictions could reduce homelessness by 9%
and save the public purse £161m a year, according to analysis by Generation

that of these households, 68,430 households have faced homelessness after their
landlord evicted them to sell or re-let the property or in retaliation for a
complaint. Read more on the Yourmoney website.
