10. Suspension of Applications
All applicants who are 16 years or over are entitled to register on the Edindex Common Housing Register. However, we will consider suspending applications for rehousing in a limited number of situations. It is emphasised that such applications remain on the Edindex list but are suspended from active consideration for rehousing by us. Examples of when applications may be suspended are:-
| • |
Where false information is knowingly supplied or relevant information deliberately withheld. If an applicant is granted a tenancy on the basis of false information, we will commence eviction proceedings. |
| • |
Where an applicant refuses 2 offers of suitable accommodation, without reasonable cause |
| • |
Where an applicant or anyone proposing to reside with them is the subject of legal action for anti social behaviour, any application for housing will be suspended until conclusion of the legal action. |
| • |
Where there are clear indications from an official source, or it is the considered opinion of our staff that an applicant would not be able to sustain a tenancy successfully, an application may be suspended pending the outcome of a housing support assessment and setting up of an appropriate package of support. |
| • |
Where applicants verbally or physically abuse or threaten staff, we reserve the right to suspend the applicant from active consideration. |
