Information on social housing

Can you refuse to accept me onto the housing register?

There are some people who can not be included on the Housing Register.

For example:

  • people who are subject to immigration control under the 1996 Asylum and Immigration Act
  • people from abroad who are not subject to immigration control but who are not habitually resident in the UK, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland
  • people (including members of their household) who have been guilty of behaviour that makes them unsuitable to be a tenant
