UK renters: are you facing eviction?

theguardian.com:

Rental evictions in England and Wales have almost doubled in a year, according to official figures.

There were 5,409 repossessions by landlords between 1 October and 31 December last year, Ministry of Justice figures show – a rise of 98% on the same period the previous year.

A survey by homelessness charity Crisis in December suggested that nearly 1 million low-income households across Britain feared eviction in the coming months. It comes as UK rents increase and amid a housing shortage.
