Perpetrator of domestic abuse support and actions

We will consider the available legal action as a landlord or remedies (both civil and criminal) available to us to deal with perpetrators of domestic abuse. We will monitor and seek to understand what action is being taken by the statutory agencies in this respect to ensure that we are working together. In circumstances where it is appropriate to do so, we may signpost perpetrators to domestic abuse perpetrator programmes where appropriate.

Legal actions which we may take as a landlord, provided investigations have been completed; could include possession of a property where it is occupied by a couple and one partner is forced or asked to leave the property, as a result of the others domestic abuse.

All domestic abuse perpetrators will be offered signposting for Domestic Abuse Perpetrator support services. Any actions taken to support the perpetrator must not increase the risk of harm or cause harm to the domestic abuse victim/survivor.
