Landlords started proceedings to repossess properties from more than 100 Norfolk tenants in the three months to December, figures reveal.
An eviction ban was introduced last March when the pandemic started, stopping in September before being reintroduced in the new year.
But with it now set to end by the beginning of April, Shelter Norfolk has called on the government to give struggling renters in the county a “real way out of debt”.
Across the county, landlords started proceedings against 134 tenants between October and December - up from 47 over the previous three months, though still well below the 685 claims made during the same period in 2019.
