As you will know, and as this lady's Son will know, any tenancy agreement or mortgage agreement relies on the occupier of the property paying the required rent/mortgage. That's the deal.
Realistically he could try and negotiate a reduced payment if he's hit a bad patch, or try to sort it out in some other way with
his landlord/landlady.
But realistically, if the landlord applies for repossession for non payment of rent, Yes, sadly, it can lead to eviction. Unfortunately too, although a local council might help with emergency accommodation, they are unlikely to be sympathetic where arrears are concerned, unless it's due to sudden redundancy, loss of a partner who was contributing to the rent,or something similar.
A Court order for eviction will give a date by which the property must be vacated, and if ignored will lead to bailiffs ettc.
I hope he gets sorted out. Having been made redundant 3 times it's gut wrenching when your income is suddenly cut off.
Good luck.

no....they pay up or they will be evicted (eventually - depending on where they are in the process). if they approach the local homelessness department in their council with rent arrears,l they will be found to be intentionally homeless and will not be offered accommodation, even with two children. they will then have to see if social services are willing to help and sometimes they do. they either pay up; find a way to put the arrears right over a period of time; or find somebody willing to put them up until they can afford to rent somewhere else. i would never lend anyone that amount of money.....particularly after they hats!).d p*ssed it up the wall and not paid rent/council tax/essentials. everybody can afford to live in this country due to the benefits system, it is just a matter of whether you are willing to do it within your means (unless you are not supposed to be in this country and have no access to benefits!). i feel sorry for the lad.... he will also have to decide if he wants to live with his partner if she is that deceptive, stupid and put her whole family at risk by spending rent money.
