...if an owner has no legally-approved excuse for keeping a home empty, councils can demand it be put on the market. Otherwise they can take control and let it out to council tenants.Since when does anyone need a legally approved excuse for doing whatever the fuck they like with something they own? As long as it harmed no-one else they could leave the gas on and flick lit matches through the letter box for all I care. It's their house and what happens to it is entirely up to them as long as they own it. Or at least it should be. In the "People's Republic" style UK you can do what you will with your property until someone says you can't anymore. Call that property rights? I don't.
The seizure must be approved by a Residential Property Tribunal and the rent is passed to the owner after the council has taken a share to cover its own costs.
This is relevant to ex-pats who still have properties in
The Glorious PRUK - you have the right to do as you're told. Bastards.
