Evictions from Temporary Accommodation

Decision Maker: Housing & New Homes Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This report is in response to concerns that have been raised that residents in temporary accommodation that lodge complaints about disrepair or staff conduct at their temporary accommodation are vulnerable to 'revenge evcitions'.

Decision:

1)              That Housing & New Homes Committee note the findings of the report.

 

2)              That officers continue to monitor and update the eviction figures, with a follow up report to be produced in a year’s time including an analysis of any trends in data.

 

3)              That a Temporary Accommodation Action Group is asked to consider concerns from tenants that their involvement with the media has been a contributing factor in eviction, with any findings reported back to Housing and New Homes Committee.
