These Acts allow council, housing association and private landlords to apply to the courts for eviction orders against tenants who breach their tenancy agreement by causing a nuisance.

Depending upon a person's type of tenancy, grounds for possible eviction include the tenant or joint tenant, someone living in or visiting the house having:

• acted in an anti-social manner or pursued a course of anti social conduct;
• pursued a course of harassment;
• been convicted of using the house or allowed it to be used for immoral or illegal purposes;
• been convicted of an offence punishable by imprisonment committed in the house or in the locality;
• caused a nuisance in the house or its vicinity
