My Department has since 2008 collected data on rent arrears, calculated by the total monetary amounts and not by individual persons or households, owing to local authorities. The data are supplied in a tabular format below. However my Department does not collect data on notices to quit related to those rent arrears.
Data in respect of 2011 are not yet available.
