Age restrictions on Reading council houses removed

Reading Council considering banning people from affordable housing for up to 10 years

Reading Borough Council offices The council is considering new plans to ban antisocial tenants from accessing affordable housing for up to ten years. Currently, tenants who have been evicted due to antisocial behaviour are banned from accessing the housing register for three years. But Reading Borough Council (RBC) is now considering increasing this to a standard of between five and 10 years. The proposal is one of several that is set to be consulted on, with the council to vote on whether to approve the schemes for public consultation next week. The report, ahead of next Wednesday’s (March 10) Housing Neighbourhoods and Leisure committee, states: “Since the introduction of this sanction a number of individuals have been identified that have been previously evicted due to serious, threatening or violent behaviours which have not been addressed, who have now seen this sanction expire and are now able to re-join the register.
