Eviction Ban extended to 31 March 2021

The Housing Secretary, Robert Jenrick, has announced the ban on evictions, save for exceptional cases, will be extended to 31 March 2021. It had been due to end on 21 February so we expect to see updated Regulations released shortly.

There were some changes to the exceptions when the ban was extended in January (Update on the Extended Eviction Ban), so we will await to see whether any further changes will be made.
