New bill targets domestic abusers and overhauls right to buy in England
Social housing landlords to be able to evict perpetrators, while right-to-buy tenancy requirements to rise
Social housing landlords will be able to evict domestic abuse perpetrators under a new bill, which will also increase the length of tenancy required before residents qualify for the right-to-buy scheme from three to 10 years in England.
The government said the bill, which will be debated in the House of Lords on Monday, would fix “the long-term decline in social housing” and offer new protections for social tenants who were subjected to domestic abuse.
