The Role of Housing Associations in Tenant Evictions

Housing associations play a key role in providing affordable housing, but they may also have to evict tenants in certain situations. Evictions usually happen due to unpaid rent, anti-social behavior, or breaches of tenancy agreements. Before eviction, housing associations must follow legal procedures, including giving tenants notice and offering support to resolve issues. If the problem isn’t fixed, they may take the case to court for a possession order. However, many housing associations try to work with tenants to prevent eviction by offering payment plans or support services.
