I work for a homeless charity providing supported accommodation. We issue the residents a Licence Agreement, giving them permission to occupy and not a Tenancy Agreement. We have had a resident breach the his Daily Licence Agreement, and served a Eviction Notice on him. However, he has not left and is saying we have to get a Court Order to evict him. We have called the Police to assist us, but they have got this wrong also and said its a civil matter and we have to get a Court Order to evict him. Hes preventing us from supporting the other vulnerable residents in the house. Ill be glad for any advice and / views on this matter.
