Removal from the social housing waiting list: causes and remedies
Housing corporations may remove you from the register, but only on the basis of the Housing Act. Discover why this happens and how to take action.
Reasons for removal
No response to invitations (often 2-week deadline), incorrect data, income above the qualification threshold or acceptance of another dwelling. Passivity longer than 12 months also leads to removal.
Re-registration possible?
Yes, after correction of the cause. Submit a new application with motivation. Proof of good faith helps in disputes.
Legal proceedings
Object to removal within 6 weeks. The court may annul the removal if the procedure was not careful. Case law examples show success with disproportionate penalties.
Stay active on the list by reporting changes. This prevents unexpected removal and preserves your waiting time.
