Examines criticism of registered social landlords regarding the level of possession orders and evaluates whether this is justified given that RSL housing stock has increased with transfers from local authorities and that the number of possessions orders does not equate to the same number of evictions. A survey of selected NHF members shows that most possession orders are used to enforce payment of rent arrears. Table.
