Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to amend the process for eviction of social housing tenants found to have taken part in (a) criminal and (b) antisocial behaviour.

The Renters (Reform) Bill will make it easier for landlords to evict anti-social tenants under the assured tenancy system. The Bill was introduced to parliament on 17 May 2023.

The Department has also committed to explore a '3 strikes and you're out' eviction expectation for all social landlords in the recently published Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan. Updates on this work will be provided in due course.
