From the Guardian:
But after lobbying from landlords, he will also “strengthen powers to evict antisocial tenants, broadening the disruptive and harmful activities that can lead to eviction and making it quicker to evict a tenant acting antisocially”, his department said.
It could mean renters being given a two-week notice period for antisocial behaviour evictions and that any behaviour “capable” of “causing nuisance or annoyance” could trigger eviction.
- pjc50 4y agoYeah, I think that's where the tradeoff moves. Rather than "no-fault" it will become "made-up or wildly exaggerated fault". Landlord will bung your neighbour £50 to put in a noise complaint, etc.
- robertlagrant 4y agoWhat you're saying is very one-sided, though. If it's too hard to evict then that is also a problem. There is good/bad behaviour from landlords and tenants alike. And that will always be, but for landlords there's a difference between difficulty coming from what you choose to do (i.e. let out a property and risk getting a difficult tenant) vs difficulty imposed by the government.
