Over half of rent reviews found to be invalid, Threshold reports

John Mark McCafferty, CEO, Threshold, said: "Threshold advisors found 53% of the rent reviews brought to them by private renters were invalid." 

Threshold intervened to save almost 2,000 adults and children from being made homeless by invalid notices of termination, invalid rent increases, and rent arrears in the last quarter of 2021, a 16% increase on the previous year.

The national housing charity intervened to prevent 905 households from losing their homes in Q4 of 2021, which included 1,250 adults and 735 children.
