The tenant-in-situ scheme was introduced by the Government in March 2023 when the eviction ban was lifted. The scheme enables local authorities and the Housing Agency to purchase rental properties whose owners want to sell so that existing tenants at risk of eviction can remain in their homes and pay rent to the council or Housing Agency. The scheme aimed to prevent homelessness by keeping tenants in situ rather than forcing moves. Councils across the country have been running out of funding for the scheme, creating a shortfall that undermines the ability to secure properties and protect tenants from eviction.
