Council offer of help to landlords as bailiff-enforced eviction ban ends

A council in the north of England is offering help to landlords and private rental tenants as the bailiff-enforced eviction ban comes to an end this coming weekend.

Chesterfield council is reminding tenants and buy to let investors that emergency measures to protect people living in rented accommodation were brought into force in March 2020 to help those struggling financially as a result of the pandemic - but after May 31, next Monday, the government will no longer provide any further protection and private sector landlords will once again be able to take court action to remove private tenants.

Landlords anticipating serving notice on tenants can approach ‘Call B4 U Serve’ – hosted by nearby Derby council - which offers a number of solutions to try to get the tenancy back on track without resorting to costly legal action.

Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield council’s cabinet member for housing, says: “The Covid-19 pandemic has been incredibly difficult for tenants and landlords … Rent arrears caused due to the pandemic could lead to more people becoming homeless, so it is important that people know what support is available to prevent this happening.”
