Council Issues Eviction Warning to Tenants

A London council has warned tenants they face eviction from their homes if family members or visitors to their properties commit crime or anti-social behaviour.  Newham Council, in east London, issued the warning after it served an eviction notice on two tenants following a court conviction for assaulting a council noise officer.  The officer was attacked by the 16-year-old granddaughter of the tenancy holder. The 16-year-old was found guilty of assault.  The council has now served a notice seeking possession of the tenants of both the 16-year-old’s home and the home of her grandparent, and will seek eviction in court.  Read more on Inside Housing.
