Why because I am aware of the law regarding tenure?

Are you a Landlord

I have a case like this myself, same advice offered by the council. This is often the norm now for the council to offer this advice, I'm not sure if it's legal, and I think they say this verbally. I would go straight to court once the notice expires. If you have any open communication with the tenant you can try elaborating the court order, ccj, financial penalty coming down the road which the council has left out.

So all the illegal immigrants making their way over here by rubber dingy are infact making themselves initentionally homeless? How does that work?
Is it a case of one rule for some, and another rule for others?
They certainly seem to be making themselves initentionally homeless. If so, how is it that the govenment and councils are finding accommodation for them, at the cost to the UK tax payer of £6M a day?
Oh! Maybe the illegal immigrants have superior legal rights to housing then UK residents have, even though they haven't ever paid a penny into the system in the UK. It all seems very unfair to me. Charity begins at home, surely?
Well I think it's time for a reform of our govenment, and councils, and therefore I'll be voting for The Reform Party. Maybe they can sort this mess out, and put some common sense into our laws and our government and councils. Maybe they can get rid of these career politicians, and civil servants and get some reasonable policies in place, that promote fairness and proper justice. It's a mountain to clear out so they will need all the support people can give. If they dont get the required support, expect much more decline, and much more injustice, and much more unfairness. Tbe road to hell is when good people do nothing to fight against evil, injustice and Tyranny.

Wipe that smug smile of his face when he loses his £150,000 job

Gone are the days of the Honest Broker! The Local Council works for the Tenant only!

Ask your Local Council what it is doing under the Homeless Reduction Act 2017?

Make sure you ask under the Freedom of Information Act 2000,

You may well find the case officer has never heard of the Homeless Reduction Act 2017.

What is going to happen after the General Election is anyone's guess,

You make some good points. I am a landlord of thirty years experience. When the tax treatment changes were proposed, I contacted the housing departments of both of the local authorities which cover my properties explaining that they would have a massive increase in homelessness due to this change. Unfortunately, both are Labour run and are so institutionally anti-landlord, that they were pleased that life was going to be worse for landlords, even though, as always, it's the tenants that will suffer in the end.
The fact that these are tax funded public bodies, and the employees are supposedly neutral civil servants, shows just how far the anti-landlord polarisation/politicisation of our public bodies has gone.

We now have huge selective licence fees which further discriminate against private tenants, whilst providing no advantage to them.

We have always been compassionate in allocating our properties, housing people who would not be given a chance normally.
This time is now over. We are now forced to become the ruthless, money orientated landlords that we were always falsely accused of being.
Media hype, homelessness activist charities, local authorities and now, a Conservative government, all have blood on their hands. This is a crisis that has been exacerbated by politically motivated players.

As landlords, most of us can sell up and walk away. As landlords have been saying for a long time, it is poor tenants that will suffer from this mess. Just the opposite of all those naive, politicised organisations aims.

And we all know what that would mean, don't we?
