A ban on tenancy evictions was announced in March as households across the country faced economic uncertainty at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
Following a three month extension in June, that ban is set to be lifted on August 23 which homeless charity Shelter says threatens 230,000 renters with a ‘Covid eviction’.
Here we speak with Shelter chief executive Polly Neate about what tenants should do if they have fallen behind with their rent.
We also hear from Jeanny Priebe, a single mum facing eviction after being furloughed at the start of the pandemic.
