Growing number of elderly people being evicted says ALONE

A growing number of elderly tenants are either at risk of eviction or have already been ousted from their homes, according to charity ALONE

The chief executive of ALONE, Sean Moynihan, said elderly tenants were being moved out of properties taken over by receivers and were struggling to find alternative lodgings in the private rental sector as they were not seen as “attractive tenants”.

The latest ALONE newsletter outlined how “an increasing issue facing our Community Response team is the eviction of older people from their homes”.
