Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many households in the London Borough of Southwark were evicted from private rental accommodation in each of the last 10 years.

This information is not held centrally. However, the English Housing Survey Headline Report, published on 25 February 2015, makes it clear that in most cases, it is the private rented tenant who chooses to end the tenancy.

In 2013-14, 81% of private renters who had moved in the last three years, ended their previous private rented tenancy because they wanted to move; 7% were asked to leave by their landlord or agent; 10% of tenancies were ended by ‘mutual agreement’.
