Description
Originally broadcast 27th April 2023 under the title Evicted. Since then, the law on no-fault evictions has changed in England, with Section 21 notices abolished from 1st May 2026. Housing law varies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so the legal position shown in this film may not reflect the current position where you live.
Priced out and pushed out - what happens when you get served an eviction notice in the middle of a housing crisis? Our next doc follows some young people dealing with impossible decisions.
