Landlords will be given the power to evict tenants who disrupt their neighbours, cause damage to their property or fall behind on their rent within two weeks under a government crackdown on antisocial behaviour.
All new private tenancy agreements will need to include clauses which ban antisocial behaviour and the notice period for eviction on these grounds will be shortened from four to two weeks, The Times reported.
Being ‘persistently problematic tenants’ will be grounds for eviction.
