SOCIAL LANDLORDS
What sort of tenants do they house?
Do they look after the property?
Do they care if their tenants cause problems for those around them?
London & Quadrant
The company has a "Charity" status which is a legacy from the humble beginings in 1963, today it is a very different organisation as money and profit are now the true motivators with a £118 million surplus reported in 2013.
Glossy brochures, fancy website and reassuring statements hide a reality that can be quite different.
Indifferent Landlords make a difference
Area less attractive to buyers and
private tenants.
Anti-social behaviour ?
Crime ?
Accountability
Complaints procedures are usually no more than lip service.
"Zero Tolerance Policies" that do not apply if it is their tenants causing problems to the local residents.
A policy of endless appeasment and excuses no matter how many complaints there are. Seeing an eviction is very unlikley as it is far easier and cheaper for the landlords if they wait and hope the victims are forced to move.

Complaints and Police involvement covering a 6 year period, countless victims, people forced to move away and this is all the man responsible for public safety can say.
Anti-social behaviour could cost you £31,000

Croydon Council....
Say " housing issues are entirely the responsibility of the landlord"
Really.... Ignorance is not an excuse!
Typical example...
This is what the Home Office says should be being done...so why isn't it?
