Eviction if you rent from the council or a housing association
You can only be evicted for specific reasons, such as rent arrears or antisocial behaviour.
Eviction action should be a last resort. There are strict legal steps the council or housing association must follow.
They can only make you leave by getting a court order. You can negotiate and get legal advice to stop the eviction.
