Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has confirmed new measures to support renters affected by coronavirus over autumn and winter.
The government has already changed the law to increase notice periods to six months meaning renters now served notice can stay in their homes over winter, with time to find alternative support or accommodation.
Jenrick has also confirmed that with coronavirus still posing a risk, if an area is in a local lockdown that includes a restriction on gathering in homes, evictions will not be enforced by bailiffs.
