Private Rented Housing: Evictions

Asked by Natalie FleetLabourMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 28 November 2024UIN 15494

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many people have been evicted due to section 21 notices in each of the last three years for which data is available in (a) Bolsover constituency and (b) Derbyshire.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Figures relating to Section 21 eviction proceedings in individual constituencies in England are not held by the department, but we know that chronic insecurity in the private rented sector in Derbyshire has real-life consequences for individuals and families. Tenants across England will benefit from the measures in the forthcoming Renters’ Rights Bill, including the abolition of Section 21 evictions.
