QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm whether the Housing Department have noticed an increase in the number of notice to quit eviction notices being given to HAP and RAS tenants over the last five years.

REPLY:

The table below shows recorded numbers of valid Notices to Quits advised to the Council in respect of existing Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) and Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) tenancies for the period 2020 to date, noting that related information for 2018 and 2019 was not fully recorded and that the numbers for 2020 were particularly low due largely to the prevailing emergency measures in relation to evictions at that time.

Notices to Quit 2020 2021 2022 (YTD)
HAP 43 126 128
RAS 27 38 46
