“More than 350 people a week renting a house in the South West are at risk of losing their home.
Approximately 19,000 renters were put at risk of being evicted from their home last year.
The research, conducted by housing and homeless charity Shelter, found that one in every 86 rented households across the Westcountry were at risk.
Using figures received from the Ministry of Justice, Shelter identified hotspots in the region where renters are most likely to face losing their home.”
The article goes on to say that 197 renters were given official evictions last year which was 1 in 89 of all the renters in the area.
