Tenants could be evicted for minor offences such as littering under new anti-social behaviour powers, homeless charities have warned. Responding to a consultation on the plans, charities expressed concern that cutting 18 existing anti-social behaviour powers to just five will leave landlords with few options to curb nuisance behaviour.

There are currently separate orders for specific offences and sanctions for breaching them vary depending on the severity of the offence. If a new CPO is broken, landlords would be able to start eviction processes against the tenant. Read more on Inside Housing.
