The new director of campaign group Generation Rent says the government has caused “untold mental stress” to thousands of tenants.
Commenting on the four week extension to the eviction ban, the government U-turn announced on Friday afternoon, Baroness Alicia Kennedy says: “We’re glad the government has listened to charities, MPs, local government and public health bodies, but it’s not a permanent solution.
“The evictions crisis should have been addressed earlier – the decision was announced just days before courts were due to open again, putting thousands of renters through untold mental stress. And while the courts remain closed, rent debt is still building up and notices are still being served.
