Difficult choices must be made 3

Peta Waters-Dewhurst missed the point about antisocial behaviour. The reason for retaining eviction as a tool is that, without it, suffering neighbours (including those with their own problems) are conscripted into being unpaid, unprotected members of the social care services.

Without the option of eviction for the troublesome tenant, their neighbours in practice face eviction, since moving becomes their only option.

Is it right to say to a peaceful tenant, "you have suffered a year of problems with your neighbour, now suffer another two years while they are helped to straighten themselves out"? Peaceful tenants are entitled to "love" as well.
