Automatically remove domestic abusers from joint council tenancies

Petition Details

In cases where a joint tenant has been found guilty of domestic abuse they should be immediately and automatically removed from joint council tenancy agreements, where these were shared with the victim, to give the victim sole tenancy.

Additional Information

Currently domestic abusers can be left on joint council tenancy agreements even after being found guilty of domestic abuse. We want this changed so that victims of domestic abuse are protected and their abusers do not have any rights to access the victim's home.
