Local councils handle social housing evictions carefully, ensuring they follow legal processes and support tenants. In cases where eviction is necessary, councils often try to resolve issues like rent arrears or disputes through mediation or payment plans. However, if eviction is unavoidable, they must follow strict rules, including providing proper notice and justifying the decision. One common type of eviction notice is the Section 21 eviction, which allows landlords to reclaim their property without giving a reason, typically after a fixed-term tenancy ends. While this is more common in private rentals, councils must still adhere to legal guidelines to ensure fairness. They also work to provide alternative housing or support services to affected tenants, aiming to prevent homelessness wherever possible.
