Council housing - evictions - A to Z
Service Outline
As a council tenant you have a Scottish secure tenancy, which means we can only make you leave your home if we have a court order. A court order will only be granted to us if it's reasonable and a particular ground for eviction exists. Grounds for eviction could include:
- regularly failing to pay your rent
- breaking some other condition of your tenancy
- behaving, or allowing someone living in your house to behave, in a way that causes nuisance to your neighbours
For more information about running your tenancy please consult your Tenants Handbook.
