Chris Seeks Government Information On Private Rental Evictions
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what information the Government holds on the average time between (a) a landlord making an application to court for the eviction of a tenant and (b) the court hearing taking place in England in the latest period for which information is available; and whether it is his policy that this average time period should change as a result of the Renters (Reform) Bill.
Mike Freer Assistant Whip, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
The MOJ Publishes quarterly statistics for all possession claims by mortgage, social and private landlords which includes median timeliness from claim to order.
These figures are published up to March 2023 here –https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/mortgage-and-landlord-possess….
The MOJ will work closely with DLUHC to manage any impacts of the Renters (Reform) Bill on the court possession process.
