Tens of thousands of Section 21 orders heard in courts since Tory promise for end
NEARLY 100,000 Section 21 evictions have been heard in courts across England since the government promised to abolish the practice, official data shows.
The number of repossession claims brought against private renters following a “no-fault” eviction was 7,962 last quarter, according to new Ministry of Justice data.
It brings the total number since 2019 — when the government pledged to abolish Section 21 — to 96,927.
