The Government are already actively working with colleagues in the Home Office and the police to explore how we might increase awareness and enforcement of illegal eviction offences. We hope that this collaboration will improve awareness of police powers relating to the small minority of landlords who would seek to illegally evict a tenant. We are also working with local authority stakeholders to understand how they can work with the police to enforce against illegal eviction. This will be used to identify examples of best practice for joint working in order to help inform the Government’s approach.
