800,000 households renting a home worried about being evicted

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has suggested that “400,000 families had already been served with an eviction notice or told that they may be evicted.”  A survey of more than 10,000 households showed “clear warning signs'' of a rise in evictions and home less ness as the ban ends. In addition to the 400,000 further 450,000 households are in rental arrears, the foundation said.
