Afghan refugees abandoned by the Home Office to fend for themselves in the private rented sector say they could be left homeless because letting agents won’t rent to them.
In March, the government began ordering people who had fled the Taliban in 2021 to vacate the hotels where they have been temporarily housed since arriving in the UK – giving them three months to leave.
Officials said the refugees should start looking for their own places to rent on property search websites like Zoopla – breaking a promise to find them ‘settled accommodation’.
