<p>Local authorities are already able to de-prioritise perpetrators of anti-social
behaviour who apply for social housing. This is part of the existing flexibilities
local authorities have to set social housing allocation schemes that best meet local
needs.</p><p>On 27th March 2023, the Government published the Anti-Social Behaviour
Action Plan which can be found <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fanti-social-behaviour-action-plan&data=05%7C01%7CParliamentary%40levellingup.gov.uk%7Cf1603843d84f436792a308db6b2191a7%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C638221564136472656%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BQn0yiBCNtjRhaeOSmzA7eY5tZB%2FIEXazTSLmT04yRQ%3D&reserved=0"
target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>In that Action Plan, we committed to exploring a 'three
strikes and you're out' eviction expectation for all social landlords. After three
strikes, the Government thinks it is right that perpetrators of anti-social behaviour
face eviction and should be deprioritised for further social housing and will work
with the sector to achieve this.</p><p>Our Renters (Reform) Bill also strengthens
powers for private landlords to remove anti-social tenants.</p>
