The Housing Law Practitioners Association (HLPA) has written an open letter to the Secretaries of State for Housing and Justice. In the letter, HLPA voices its support for the re–enacting of measures that were put in place in March 2020 to protect people from losing their homes
Lexis®Library update: It argues that as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic people are now in worse situations financially than in March 2020 and it is not fair that someone should lose their home as a result.
It also calls on the government to compel councils to accommodate anyone at risk of homelessness and to halt all possession proceedings, as people are less able to attend court as a result of the lockdown.
