Posting for traffic.
This will sound awful of me, and hopefully this will blow over in it’s own, but can anyone tell me the process that HA’s go through for evicting tenants?
A new tenant has moved into our building about a month ago, and he is quite obviously a heavy drug user.
A few weeks ago, he went round all the close doors at 5.20 in the morning looking for someone to tune his tv.
Over the last week, another user from across the street has had his windows put in, and now he’s a regular in our building. I know the HA are in the process of evicting him.
My 13YO DS has met this one twice coming into the building, one of the times he pulled a clear box of white powder out of his jacket. (I’m told this was probably sugar, for prepping himself before injecting).
I saw him myself last night and he looked like absolute death, being put out of the local shop, and lo and behold, made his way to my close again.
A neighbour told me he’s seen a third user in the building as well.
Apart from the 5.20 tv incident, the actual tenant hasn’t done anything else that I’m aware of, but I googled him and he has previously been in jail for a month, something about a noisy party and giving grief to the police when they turned up. My main concern for now is all the comings and going’s. My son comes home on his own after school and I hate the thought of it now that he coming across these people. If the guy across the street gets evicted, he could be here every day.
If things escalate with the new tenant, what’s the procedure for the HA, and how long does it take them to move them on?
I know a lot of the neighbours have complained already following the tv incident, and so did I once I realised this other guy was involved.
I’m the only one in the building who owns my flat, and I’m now stuck here for at least 2.5 years. If this keeps up, no one will want to buy my flat anyway!
Sorry that was long, and I hope you don’t think I’m awful wanting this guy out my building, but it’s really playing on my mind.
