[Diggers350] Number of evicted tenants is soaring, Ministry of Justice figures show

Sat Jan 10 18:57:39 GMT 2015

didnt the government  change things recently so instead of rent being paid 
direct to the landlord its now paid to the tenants who can spend it on 
babyfood andor booze before rent?

This would lead to even more rent arrears from people who cant budget well.

i remember something like this coming up in a libdem conference years ago 
and me saying it was a stupid idea and a Lady on the committee in the Lords 
said yes, she knew it was, shed told them but they still did it?

(im not sure if this is 100% accurate)

Labour has blamed the increase on the failure of wages to keep up with rents
  Nigel Morris     Deputy Political Editor    Tuesday 30 December 2014
Soaring numbers of tenants are being turned out
of their homes by bailiffs, Ministry of Justice
statistics disclosed last night.
The surge in evictions was blamed by Labour on
the failure of wages to keep pace with rent
increases, as well as the introduction of the
so-called “bedroom tax” last year.
County court bailiffs repossessed 41,195
properties on behalf of landlords in the 12 months to September.
Labour, which released an analysis of the MoJ
figures, said it estimated 90,000 people had been evicted over the period.
The total represented a 49 per cent increase on
the 27,628 evictions over the same period four years earlier.
The MoJ figures, which relate to England and
Wales, also showed 11,100 repossessions took
place in July, August and September – the highest quarterly total on record.
The number of repossession claims issued by
landlords has risen by 27 per cent over four years to more than 170,000.
Similar pressures are being felt in Scotland
where the proportion of tenants in arrears rose
last year from 6.3 per cent to 6.6 per cent.
Emma Reynolds, the shadow housing minister, said:
“These figures lay bare the extent of the
cost-of-living crisis across the country.”
But Brandon Lewis, the housing minister, said:
“We have worked hard to increase the number of
new homes, help people on to the property ladder
and provide more affordable options for people who want to rent.”
He said rents had fallen in real terms each year
since 2010, but ministers remained “determined to
do all we can to create a bigger, better private rented sector”.

shall not be made known. What I tell you in
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.

Woe to those who join house to house and field to field, until there is no 
more room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land. Yahweh 
of heaven's armies has sworn in my hearing: "Surely many houses 
shall be desolate, large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant." 
Isaiah 5:8-9
