Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
What steps he is taking to mitigate the risk to private tenants of being evicted as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.
This question was answered on 16th June 2020
We have provided an unprecedented package of support for renters during this pandemic. On 5 June, we announced that the government’s suspension on evictions would be extended for another 2 months until 23 August, taking the moratorium on evictions to 5 months. We are committed to ensuring that no one is evicted from their home this summer due to coronavirus.
