How Climate Policies Might Affect Evictions in the UK

Climate policies in the UK could lead to more eviction if landlords pass on the costs of making properties energy-efficient to tenants. Upgrades like better insulation or heat pumps might raise rents, making it harder for some people to afford their homes. If landlords decide the upgrades are too expensive, they might sell their properties, forcing tenants to move out. While these policies aim to fight climate change, they could unintentionally put low-income renters at risk of losing their homes.
