Eviction Disputes Increase as Landlords Leave UK Rental Market
Eviction disputes are on the rise across the UK rental sector, according to a report by PropertyWire. Landlords are facing increased costs and delays as more tenants challenge possession proceedings.
Law firm Thackray Williams has reported a sharp increase in instructions from landlords seeking vacant possession. This trend follows the introduction of the Renters' Rights Act.
The rise in eviction disputes and landlord exits is a significant development for letting agents and inventory clerks, who may see increased demand for their services related to possession proceedings and property handovers.
