Should I call in the Police to interview member of staff that made this alleged allegation at a meeting for staff's intention.

I know the witness's willing to speak to the Police

The landlord has the right to take action against a tenant under their tenancy agreement for ASB. If it is serious ASB then the police will almost certainly already be involved and fully aware of the situation- the housing offer will be communicating regularly with them.

Your post doesn't make any sense.  But I'd be surprised if housing management staff had a "campaign" to get rid of a particular tenant.  Usually they are far too professional to adopt such a stance, and it's not in their interests to do so. 

If there's been a criminal offence, by all means get in touch with the police.  If it's a civil matter, they'll pretty quickly tell you that they're not interested.  Libel or slander are not offences, and the police have nothing to do with the eviction process. 

If the landlord's trying to evict someone and you disagree, give a statement to that tenant's solicitors in support of their defence (if they have one).

Morse they are that unprofessional are appear to of adopted that stance. He/She have written and told them of he/she concerns. 

Response is -  Noted attitude from the Housing Association.  Where is the support and meaningful handling of the matter/case/concern for the Tenant of the Housing Association

I'm not really sure what you're hoping to achieve by posting on here.  You think the landlord has been unprofessional, but they're obviously not going to respond to you on this website.  You haven't posted enough details for anyone to actually help you.  If you're asking whether a landlord is committing ASB by trying to evict a tenant, the answer's "no".  If your friend has a complaint about unprofessional staff, they should complain to their landlord via their complaints procedure, and await the outcome. 

You plainly have a long running dispute with your landlord, which taits your view of the social housing sector.  Frankly, iIf your complaints to them are as ill considered and difficult to understand as your posts on here, I'm not surprised you're having difficulty getting them to respond positively.  If I were in your shoes, I would consider getting professional assistance with writing letters, etc.

Agreed.

Eva, this is getting beyond a joke now. You had to change your user name because your landlord was fed up of what was pretty much slander. You continue to post more or less the same questions continuosly and argue against anyone who gives you the appropriate advice. What do you want? If you can't resolve your issues directly with your landlord, there is little anyone here can do to help you. You are clearly angry with them, but you need to go through their complaints process.

Asking the same question again and again isn't going to change the answer.

I agree you. 

The comments. questions and allegations (and at times plain slurs) have made me feel increasingly uncomfortable in reading them. 

I am sure that, in most cases, they do not achieve anything as the questions are rarely comprehensible and even when they are understandable and people give answers, they are argued with if they are not what people want to hear. 

This is potentially such a useful resource which is being devalued and hi jacked by individual agendas and concerns.

As much as I enjoy the discussions that go on on these boards, the abuse against anyone who has been vaguely near the housing profession by both Junior and Kass is frustrating, insulting and at some times upsetting. I have dared to post replies under my name before just to be met with abuse in return. I don't just randomly make up my own opinions. I have many years of experience in the social housing sector, and not that it particularly matters, but I also have an MSc in Housing and Regeneration from the London School of Economics. In short, I do know what I'm talking about and to be insulted again and again is not on.

Tom, could you please, please do something to prevent this from continuing? I like the website and enjoy the discussions. However Eva and Kass don't contribute in a postive way. How is this helpful?

I agree with the posters above.  I'm not normally an advocate of restricting free speech, but the potential of these message boards to perform a useful function has been undermined over time by the spam trolling of a couple of individuals.  I suspect that this will be the only time I post here, because until this issue is addressed, I don't see the point, it would just be putting out troll food.

here, here.

The voice(s) of reason at last.

I pity the poor landlord who has to put up with the (almost imcomprehensable)  rants of "junior" on what must be a daily basis.

Sorry for the spelling, I too am dyslexic

I agree with many of the posters. People such as Kass ruin this site. All they do is bang on about corruption and how everyone working in housing is corrupt. When challenged about this unacceptable behaviour, and asked why they don't get involved - either complain, litigate, heck join the board or stand for election to the board of their landlord and try to effect POSITIVE change they run a mile.

Of course the reason is, they have no evidence at all, and no one would vote for them in a million years. Unfortunately, trolling posts (Kass is not the only one, Junior is as bad) are ruining this site. Come on IH staff, PLEASE get a grip and delete them. Just do a search on Kass's posts alone - clearly nonsense in the main, insulting and perkorative, no evidence.

If I were the landlord I wouldn't tolerate such verbiage or the volume of it. It is perfectly possible, in extreme cases, to have a tenant effectively declared as a vexatious complainant.

Some of the worst offenders, as identified in this thread, would seem to be prime candidates to be declared vexatious. They really are properly and definitively vexatious. This has the benefit of effectively preventing them bombarding the landlord with tons of unsupported complaints and/or lengthy and often illogical, impenetrable "complaints."

Unfortunatly, it doesn't have the benefit of preventing them from posting to this website! More's the pity

philpjohn01 I said this before you like me entitled to you own option like I am entitled to my own option.

I suggest you do not presume anything when I do make a Complaint its a complaint with grounds and has the TSA our Area Officer told us the I/we our following the what he/she  at the TSA is telling us to do.

So may I say do not presume you know me or presume that I am wrong. Or that I am what you suggest above

I say I taken the time and energy to read the TSA Standards.  I take the time to go to the Conferences of the TSA. 

If your Housing Association wasn't adhering to the Policy and Procedures that I have a right to raise my concerns.

If your Housing Association was hindering Complaints

If your Housing Association was hindering Tenant Empowerment and Involvement under a Code of Conduct that its right because a Solicitor tell us so and so does all others believe its impringing upon tenants rights.  

If your Housing Associaton was only involved  the few Tenants and not the all.

If you had been involved has long has a few of us have and seen how this Housing Association operations then you want Readdress for the Tenants

Want to go and have a dig at someone.  Well it I am your target  your no better than a bullies.

Junior can I suggest you put all your thoughts in one post rather than seeming to reply to yourself. Otherwise you make no sense.

Thanks.

    There is not a right or wrong way to do Resident Scrutiny Reports.  The key issue is what will best lead to outcomes that bring improvements for tenants and prospective tenants.  If a key reason to involve tenants in involvement activities, including scrutiny exercises, is so that they can constructively challenge how the landlord operates so that services, value for money or other aspects of the business can be improved, then not allowing tenants to raise the points they wish to raise would seem to be counter productive and not using the potential business advantages that tenant involvement can ...

  • From Will Nixon, 17/05/2012 6:17 pm in What defines a 'living' room

  • From Shaun Aldis, 17/05/2012 11:13 am in Repairs ban

    There are a few factors to consider, which are dependent upon what is in the tenancy agreement by type of tenancy i.e. social landlord or private lease. Normally the landlord is responsible for repairs unless stated otherwise and they should be carried out within a reasonable period of time, however again unless stated there are no fixed time limits, and the length of time considered to be reasonable would depend on the type and severity of the repair.  Most landlords will normally undertake repairs once they have been notified about them, however if they refuse or fail to do ...

  • From Paul Jones, 16/05/2012 11:04 pm in Tenancy status and mutual exchanges.

    Those with lifetime (periodic) tenacies swapping with another person with the same will still swap using a "Deed of Assignment" and take over eachother's tenancies, not begin new tenancies.  BUT, if fixed-term or "affordable rent" is involved on either side, new tenancies are started. I have studied the Localism Bill and this is what it says.

  • From Blair Mcpherson, 16/05/2012 1:01 pm in Why be a tweet

    I have recently joined twitter. I was initially reluctant but my son was very enthusiastic saying it was better than Facebook because it was easier to use, wasn't restricted to your " friends" and the limit on characters keeps comments short and to the point. For me twitting is a way to promote my articles and books to let others who share my interests know what is influencing me and to pick up on what others in my areas of interest are talking about. Of course I am not immune to the temptation to follow the trend.

  • From Shaun Aldis, 16/05/2012 12:54 pm in Fire risk or not?

    Where there's any question about the performance of a product, I would suggest that it's important to get the products in question back to the manufacturer or importer, for them to inspect them and advise you as to the cause of the damage. This response can then guide and feed into your risk analysis. This should be channeled through your product supplier, be that a wholesaler, distributor, or trade supplier. My experience of this is that the quality of manufacturers responses will be improved if details about the installed conditions, fault levels, cable run distance, Amperage/kW loading, and nature ...
