A council has served five eviction notices for breach of tenancies due to convictions related to last summer’s riots.
Salford Council has issued five notices seeking possession to convicted rioters who were living in homes managed by its arms-length management organisation Salix Homes. NSPs notify the household that the council intends to persuade a court to grant an eviction order to enable it to repossess the property.
In two of the cases the person convicted was the boyfriend of the tenancy holder while a third was the brother of the tenancy holder who had since moved out of the home. The other two NSPs were served on households with joint tenancies where one of the tenants was involved in riot-related crime during last August’s civil disorder.
