<p>There are no plans to require landlords to record eviction notices at the point
of delivery; this information is not collected centrally by the government and we
have made no assessment of the merits of increasing data collection in this way. <br>
<br>To further protect renters, the measures in the Coronavirus Act 2020 mean that
landlords must now give 6 months’ notice except in the most serious cases. <br> <br>To
gather data, we work closely with the Ministry of Justice and HM Courts and Tribunal
Service to monitor possession proceedings. The Ministry of Justice publishes national
statistics on possession actions in county courts by private and social landlords.
This includes statistics on claims, orders, warrants and possessions.</p><p>The Department
also conducts regular surveys such as the annual English Housing Survey and the English
Private Landlord Survey to gather data. These include questions regarding ending a
tenancy and the reasons for it, and both the English Housing Survey and English Private
Landlord survey will be published next year.</p>
