Evictions

Requested Tue 11 May 2021
Responded  Thu 20 May 2021

1. How many Section 21 eviction notices were issued by your council in 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21? If possible within the cost limit please also indicate the number of tenants affected (in each property) in total by these s21 notices in each year.

2. How many Section 8 eviction notices were issued by your council in 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21? If possible within the cost limit please also indicate the number of tenants affected (in each property) in total by these s8 notices in each year.

3. When the moratorium on evictions ends on 31st May 2021, how many outstanding notices for eviction does the council have under Section 21 and Section 8?

If possible within the cost limit, please also indicate the number of tenants affected in total by these notices - please provide a figure for s21 and s8 separately.

With Q3 I am trying to get a figure for the number of people that are potentially facing eviction once the moratorium ends.

Response

Hastings Borough Council does not have any council social housing properties. Therefore the answers given below relate to non social housing properties.

1. No s21 issued, as only unsecure tenancy agreements were issued.

2. One eviction on 19.10.18.

3. None, as these are not Housing Association properties.
