A record number of tenants in England and Wales were forcibly evicted from their homes last year.
Ministry of Justice figures showed that 37,739 private and public sector tenants had their homes repossessed by court bailiffs in 2013.
This is the largest such figure since this data first started to be recorded in 2000.
Rents outstripping earnings rises are being blamed for the numbers and with little sign of rents cooling it is likely there will be a substantial number of similar evictions this year.
