Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 29 October 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many households have used the provisions of the Mortgage Repossessions (Protections of Tenants) Act 2010 since its implementation.
The published impact assessment supporting the legislation estimated that between 5,000 and 20,000 tenants would be protected from short notice eviction between 2010 and 2020. The impact assessment is available from the Library of the House.
Her Majesty's Courts Service do not collect data on the number of court hearings under the Mortgage Repossessions (Protections of Tenants) Act 2010. Most tenants will have benefited from the legislation without attending court.
