The UK Government has announced an action plan to crack down on anti-social behaviour giving more powers to the police to target perpetrators with swift and visible justice in England and Wales.
Faster grounds for possession
🔸 The UK Government’s plan to reform the Private Rented Sector (PRS) outlines tougher enforcement on nuisance Tenants
🔸 Leading industry experts and organisations all agree that there must be a right balance between protecting Tenants from unfair evictions whilst allowing Landlords to take possession of their property in reasonable circumstances
🔸 The Action plan highlights that sustained acts of intimidating or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated and should lead to the eviction of the Tenant involved.
🔸 The UK Government will be changing laws and arming Landlords with tools to ensure that anti-social Tenants will face consequences including making the grounds for possession faster and easier to prove
🔸 All private Tenancy Agreements will include clauses specifically banning anti-social behaviour
🔸 Discretionary eviction grounds on anti-social behaviour will be extended
🔸 Implementation of a new registration scheme to give local authorities data that will help identify problematic Tenancies
Other measure include:
🔸 16 areas will be funded to support either new ‘hotspot’ police and enforcement patrols or trial a new ‘Immediate Justice’ scheme. A select few areas will trial both interventions and following the initial trailblazers, both schemes will be rolled out in 2024.
🔸 A new reporting tool will also be developed over the next twelve months to act as a digital one-stop shop where people can quickly and easily report incidents of anti-social behaviour.
🔸 Under the zero-tolerance approach, nitrous oxide or ‘laughing gas’ will also be banned. The drug is now the third most used among 16 to 24-year-olds in England and both the police and the public have repeatedly reported links between the use of the drug and nuisance or anti-social behaviour.
Landlords and Agents are still asking for clarity on how the new measures will work in practice, and an idea of when the new legislation will come into effect
