Temporary accommodation

Can I be asked to leave the temporary accommodation?

You may be asked to leave if you break the rules while in temporary accommodation, for example:

• Anti-social behaviour by you or your household members.
• Violence or threats of violence towards other people living in the accommodation. 
• Carrying out illegal activities at the property, or using illegal substances.
• Not looking after the property, or deliberate or malicious damage.
• Not paying your licence fee (rent) or service charges. 
• Living somewhere else and not using the accommodation provided. 
• Violence and aggression towards the housing provider or staff at Coventry City Council. 

If you breach the terms and conditions of your accommodation and have to leave your temporary accommodation as a result, this could end the council’s duty to house you. You will have to find your own place to live.

You will also have to leave your temporary accommodation if the council's duty to house you has ended in another way (such as you refusing a suitable offer of accommodation).
