Housing Management: Breach of tenancy/injunctions
Social landlords can bring injunctions against their tenants and other individuals causing nuisance and anti-social behaviour that affects the landlord's housing management function.
Proceedings are brought under section 153 A-E of the Housing Act 1996. Injunctions can be brought to prevent unwanted behaviour from anyone - including the tenant - or to compel a tenant to abide by the terms of the tenancy agreement.
