Dealing with Housing Crime
Empty Council properties are usually awaiting repair, redecoration or re-letting and we are keen to ensure they stay empty so that someone on the waiting list has the opportunity to find a home.
The laws on squatting are quite complex and St Leger Homes of Doncaster cannot simply evict a person who is squatting. However, if any tenant becomes aware of squatters in a property that they know should be vacant, perhaps one tenant has moved out and another has not yet moved in, we would be grateful if the tenant would advise us and we can then commence the action. This applies generally to unknown and suspicious occupants.
If you see anyone suspicious or who appears to be squatting in a property, please contact your local St Leger office. Any contact will be strictly confidential.
Alternatively you can download, complete and return the attached form to the address at the top of this page.
