New Anti-Social Behaviour Measures in Social Housing

A package of measures to tackle anti social and noisy neighbours in the form of an additional mandatory ground for possession has been announced by Housing Minister Grant Shapps. The new powers mean that tenants with a track record of anti-social behaviour can be evicted from council or housing association property much more quickly. This will lead to a faster and fairer courts process as being found guilty of housing related anti-social behaviour in one court will provide automatic grounds for eviction in the county court. Grant Schapps said “I’m giving landlords and residents the support they need to reclaim their streets and make their houses feel like homes again.”
