Exclusions from the Register

Anti-Social Behaviour/Harassment/Racial Harassment

Current legislation permits authorities to decide that an applicant is ineligible for an allocation of housing accommodation if they are satisfied that :-

(a) an applicant or a member of their household, has been guilty of unacceptable behaviour serious enough to make them unsuitable to be a tenant; and
(b) at the time of registration is considered to be unsuitable to be a tenant by reason of that behaviour.

Applicants with a history of unacceptable behaviour including violence or threats of violence towards staff may be refused entry to Home Choice Plus.
 

People from Overseas

Some people travelling to the United Kingdom from abroad are not entitled to social housing on the basis of their status as detailed in Section 160A of the Housing Act 1996 as amended.

Where a Registration form indicates that this may be an issue, checks will be made to confirm the eligibility status of an applicant.
