The local authority is reaching the final stages of negotiations with a number of tenants it alleges are guilty of anti-social behaviour.
Any tenant evicted through the courts for anti-social behaviour would then be disqualified from accessing further housing or homeless supports from Waterford Council.
However they can reenter the Council housing system at a later date if they can prove they will not re-offend.
Waterford Council's Director of Housing Ivan Grimes says anyone who would be evicted would be deemed to have made themselves homeless and would not
be able to avail of homeless services.
He said the Council have to be fair on the tenants who are compliant and who are doing nothing wrong and who are being impinged upon by anti social behaviour.
Sinn Féin councillor John Hearne said he knows of one individual whose house was robbed five times. He said there was a whole block on one street where the residents cannot
go to mass, they can't go to the shops because their houses are being watched and would be robbed.
He says if a tenant lets their house be used as a base for crime, that people can come out of their house and rob their neighbours, they need to be evicted
because they are not adding anything to society.
