The State Government has delivered on a promise to clamp down on disruptive tenants in public housing.

Housing Minister Bill Marmion said the Government had expanded the Department of Housing’s Disruptive Behaviour Management Unit by recruiting 35 new case management staff.

The staff were inducted today and will soon fill positions in metropolitan and country areas.

Mr Marmion said the new staff represented the latest initiative to manage disruptive tenants.

The Disruptive Behaviour Management Strategy was revised in May 2011 to strengthen and streamline policy and procedures to deal with tenants who caused problems.
