00:00Social housing tenants across the West Midlands could face eviction for repeatedly failing to
00:06maintain their homes and gardens under proposals from Reform UK. Party chairman Lee Anderson says
00:13tenants in subsidised housing should be expected to keep properties in a reasonable condition,
00:18including dealing with overgrown gardens. Reform says repeated breaches could lead to eviction.
00:24The proposal would apply nationally under a reformed government and is not current policy in the West
00:30Midlands. The government has criticised Reform's wider social housing plans as unworkable. Existing
00:37tenancy agreements can already require residents to maintain homes and gardens, depending on their
00:43landlord.
