Eviction from council property
Dear Haringey Borough Council,
I am seeking information on your procedures and reasons for evicting tenants from council property and how this is affected by the tenant’s mental or physical health issues.
You are obliged to rehouse tenants, again how are the conditions which compromise their health addressed when providing new accommodation.
I am particularly interested in those suffering from mental health conditions which may mean they cannot fully engage with the council or comprehend why they have to quit their home.
Yours faithfully,
A Rugen
