Closed New law to guarantee new social housing tenancies for victims of violence

Closed on

I want a new housing law passed that protects victims of all forms of violence, including domestic violence, that hold social housing tenancies. If they flee their home they should have a guaranteed right to be quickly offered a new tenancy e.g through a management move or a reciprocal move.

I would like the government to help ensure that anyone who has to flee their home due to violence or fear of violence that holds a social housing tenancy does not end up homeless. I believe a new housing law needs to be created that social landlords have a legal duty to offer a management move or reciprocal move to tenants in this situation.
