Ministry of Justice figures reveal 39 claims to repossess a property were made by landlords in York between October and December 2023 – more than the same quarter in 2022 when there were 24.
Of these, 11 were Section 21 notices - where a tenant can be evicted without a reason.
Now a York MP has called for greater protection for renters - saying people need more security to make a "rented house a home".
Across England and Wales, landlord repossession claims rose by more than a tenth in the three months to December 2023 compared with the same period in 2022, including a 16 per cent increase in Section 21 notices.
