England's Housing Courts Overwhelmed as Landlords Issue No-Fault Evictions
Courts report being 'overloaded' with eviction cases as tenants struggle to find alternative housing.
Stratford housing court is processing a high volume of cases, with lawyers and tenants filing in throughout the day to address housing disputes. One tenant is attempting to delay an eviction after receiving a section 21 no-fault eviction notice earlier in the year, before such notices were banned, but has had no success securing emergency housing through their local council.
The situation reflects broader pressures on England's housing court system, with courts described as 'overloaded' as landlords divest properties and tenants seek time to locate alternative accommodation.
