Tenants are being affected worse than homeowners by the cost of living crisis, according to a new report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nineteen percent of private renters in Wales were worried about being evicted in the three months leading up to January 2023, a report<\/a> published by the Bevan Foundation reveals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This compares to the 13 percent of people who own their homes, who fear being able to meet their mortgage payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It isn\u2019t just eviction that affects tenants more though. Thirty six percent of social housing tenants say they often don’t have enough money to afford basic living essentials, whereas only four percent of homeowners say the same thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nearly half (46 percent) of social housing tenants say they have had to cut back on food or skip meals in the past three months, but only 13 percent of homeowners have had to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
