The government has extended the suspension of new evictions in England and Wales until 23rd August. The extension announced by the Housing Secretary takes the moratorium on evictions to a total of five months.
Where tenants have/are experiencing financial difficulties as a result of the pandemic, the government is clear that Landlords and Tenants should work together and exhaust all possible options such as flexible payment plans which take into account a tenant's individual circumstances to ensure cases only end up in court as an absolute last resort.
