Empty council properties are usually awaiting repair, redecoration or re-letting and we are keen to ensure they stay empty so that someone on the waiting list has the opportunity to find a home.
The laws on squatting are quite complex. People 1st, the organisation that manages council housing, cannot simply evict a person who is squatting. However, if any tenant becomes aware of squatters in a property that they know should be vacant, perhaps one tenant has moved out and another has not yet moved in, we would be grateful if the tenant would advise us and we can then commence the action. This applies generally to unknown and suspicious occupants.
People 1st cannot be expected to know what is happening in all the properties that it manages and we greatly appreciate the information we receive from our tenants.
If you see anyone suspicious or who appears to be squatting in a property please contact us so that we can resolve the matter quickly. Any contact will be strictly confidential.
