PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Housing: Anti-social Behaviour (27 March 2023)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when he plans to bring into force each of the measures to change the eviction process for anti-social behaviour set out in paragraph 31 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan, published on 27 March 2023.

Asked by:
James Wild (Conservative)

Answer

The Action Plan is ensuring orderly behaviour by strengthening powers in the social and private rental sector to evict or sanction tenants who persistently commit anti-social behaviour

Both local authority and housing association landlords have legal powers to evict tenants should anti-social behaviour be identified as an issue.

Changes to the eviction process will be brought in through the Renters Reform bill which will be introduced as soon as time allows in this parliament.
