A friend of mine rents a flat from a hsng assn (part of a house). A new tenant moved in and is a suspected drug dealer. She often comes home to find "hoodies" on her doortstep. She is disturbed by people ringing her buzzer at all hours. There have been several disturbances involving this tenant, people trying to kick down the communal front door and his flat front door, litter and human waste in the communal hallway, etc.
The man disappeared for a few weeks, and people tried to break into his flat. When the police came, drugs were found in the man's back garden.
My friend (and other tenants) have made several complaints to the housing assn but nothing has been done. After this they were told that this man would be served with an eviction notice.
However, she got a phone call from the housing assn today telling her that the man was not served the eviction notice and would be moving back in. Can the hsng assn do this? What, if any, are her rights?
