A homelessness charity has warned it is “fully expecting” evictions to rise in Watford after a ban on them ended this month. During the pandemic private renters have been protected by rules ensuring they cannot be kicked out of their homes. But since June 1 people can now be given four months’ notice – sparking fears of a spike in those facing eviction locally. Head of services at Watford’s New Hope, Rob Edmonds, said: “Like other areas in England, with the lifting of the evictions ban we are fully expecting to see an increased number of individual facing evictions, and are already seeing people coming needing advice and support.”
