Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Approval is granted for eviction proceedings
to be initiated against Mr x due to continued non-payment of
arrears despite the suspended possession order granted on
05/07/2024. The arrears balance has not been cleared since the
court order, and the tenant has not responded to support efforts
from money advice services.
The tenant has not made any payments since the
suspended possession order, and no substantial action has been
taken to address the arrears despite previous notices and attempts
to engage. The tenant has been offered support, but no positive
response has been received. The arrears balance is now
£3,129.84, with no signs of improvement.
The option to continue with support or further
intervention was considered; however, given the tenant's refusal to
downsize and lack of cooperation, further action through eviction
proceedings appears to be necessary.
