Launch a review into improving social housing provision for families
Launch a review into reforming social housing so families with young children aren’t trapped in unsafe, overcrowded flats. The review should look into creating fairer allocation rules, offering suitable downsizing options for older tenants, and ensuring families have access to a safe, healthy home.
Require councils to review social housing tenancies
People are being left without support, while some social housing tenants remain in subsidised homes despite earning high incomes or no longer meeting the need criteria.
Require faster eviction process, and improve protections for landlords in PRS
We petition the Government to amend the law for landlords by instituting a 6-week expedited court process for Mandatory Grounds s8/7A (arrears/Anti-Social Behaviour), creating a registered-landlord database of court-evicted tenants, and raising the deposit cap to adequately cover severe damage.
Housing repairs delayed by social landlord
A resident has experienced over a year of delays for kitchen flooring work through RHP, including multiple appointment cancellations and incomplete work. The kitchen floor remains unfinished and unusable.
Require landlords to sell vacant properties to house homeless and refugees
With over 700,000 empty homes, 170,000 vacant commercial properties, and around 350,000 homeless people, taxpayers shouldn’t bear the housing burden. Empty properties could be sold to investors committed to easing homelessness for a minimum of two years post-purchase.
