The cost of inflation

Not much choice fella.

It's easy slamming it, but when you need somewhere to live, and want somewhere secure, what choice do many have? I'm lucky to have the choice, rather than be on the merrygo round of 6 month tenancies.

I think I would rather have 6 month tenancies than be trapped on half a mortgage, how do you sell and get out if you want to?

Same as you would sell any other house. Just have to give the HA 3 months to find you a buyer before you can put it on the open market.

I got this through a letter sent to me as I was on their list for pre-owned homes in the area. So they let me know and I proceeded. Was about a month before my seller had found a buyer, and took about 4 months to actually get all the details finalised as it was a pain in the rear.

Either we are talking about very different HA's here, or you are confused.

HA's have a responsibility to house tenants. They have to put them somewhere. They can move them on, but in general, when one family is moved, another is bought in, under a general swap type scheme. So you get rid of one bad egg, and get a replacement.

Your HA may be very different, and they may be able to palm these nuisance tenants onto someone else. But I'm not sure who.

This was all part of the plan to stop slum estates. As you don't know what happens to them, I'd suggest you do some research. The HA can't simply make them homeless. The HA I am talking about provides "affordable homes" which are not affordable, retirement homes / villages (and disabled type homes) and social housing. The social housing is always mixed with the affordable homes.

Ours is 25% social housing.

Antisocial Behaviour is in the housing act and the anti social behaviour act.
The can issue possession orders I do not know where you get the idea HA's have to house no matter what.

I am not confused, I am looking at the document now.
I think you need to do research, I did mine before I purchased.

You have the right to stay in your home as long as is stated in your tenancy agreement, providing you don't break the rules of your tenancy.

Eviction for antisocial behaviour
Most tenants can be evicted for antisocial behaviour in certain circumstances. The chances of this happening depend on who your landlord is and the type of tenancy you have. Read more

Applying as homeless after an eviction for antisocial behaviour

If you are evicted from your home because of antisocial behaviour you could consider making a homelessness application. You don't have to be on the street to do this and the council may have a duty to provide temporary accommodation for you.

However, the council may say that you have made yourself homeless intentionally if you have been evicted because of your behaviour. If this happens, the housing department of the council may only have to help you for a short time. However, depending on your circumstances, you may be able to get further help from social services.

Councils have to I believe, HA's do not have to find them another house.

All unemployment benefits should be calculated so the recipient is worse off than someone on minimum wage. Only then will the system be considered fair and just.

While I agree with part of what you are saying ILW, I'd be more in favour of a top for a period of time for people who have come out of longish term service, say 7 years or more because I would like to think these people are not wasters and redundancy can be a horrible thing for some people.

Either that or people could get a little more for each number of years they have actually worked.

I don't mean to be insulting here, but believe you are being extremely naive.

Where do you think all these antisocial tenants live? Are they on the streets? If not. Where are they? Who is housing them?

They need to jump through plenty of legal hoops to actually chuck tenants on the streets. Therefore they are moved when the opportunity arises. Normally on some sort of problem tenant ferris wheel.

Graham, Why am I being naive, I have lived in my house for three years and have provided you evidence to everything you have accused me of not knowing?

We have around 400 houses so 100 social, we have non of the issues you have and if there have been occations they have been dealt with?

So what difference is there other than stewardship? our put in 55 hectares of open spaces, parks and play areas etc.

Some don't but I have provided you with the evidence they are not responsible for those that brake the agreement.

Likewise they do not have to give anyone housing regardless of history.

So, like I say do your reasearch before entering into a HA run site, as some are a lot better than others.
Likewise, social housing does not have to equal bad tennent, some just intergrate if given the right surroundings and chance.

Again they are here.

You still haven't answered the simple, and direct question I have now asked you twice.

I did my research. It was fine at the time. As I stated, over the past couple of years it appears to be going downhill. You are not reading what I'm saying or answering what I am asking. Just telling me I am wrong, no matter what I have said, or asked. Therefore it appears you are here simply to disagree, again.

Just wondering if high inflation could impact on austerity.

A deficit of £140bn pa increasing in line with 5% inflation is going up at £7bn a year, but of course it's still the same in real terms.

GDP figures are inflation-adjusted, so raw GDP is increasing in line with inflation as long as the headline growth figure is flatlining.

Inflation doesn't cost anything unless you hold cash.

??
Graham, all I have stated is the problem is stewardship, you disagread with that not me.
You have then told me everything I have said is wrong, so I gave evidence.

I have given you a full example of what the HA do were I live and proof they do not need to rehouse them, even though you told me they do.

You then have the balls to say it is me disagreeing?

The problem is stewardship, they are a problem because they are allowed to be.

The question has been answered twice, it is this.

It is off shelters website. So by all means don't believe me but stop saying I am wrong, naive etc. as I have backed up everything written.

Is it that bad suggesting the problem is stewardship or is it the oppertunity to have an argument off the back of it, making out I know F'all about it while living in a place with most probably more social housing than you?

Stop it, you did this yesterday.
Give it a rest, if people back up what they say, accept it is highly possible it happens when people give you evidence. Where you live is not the same for all HA sites in the UK.

THIS DOES EVERYONES HEAD IN ON HERE.

The root of your confusion.

These ARE council tenants, in HA properties. Councils don't make homes anymore. Housing Associations take them on. They are placed into HA homes, as I suggested earlier. You go on the council waiting list, and into these properties (if you are lucky).
