Residents of a housing development that is being demolished despite only being built in 2011 have until next April to find new homes.
People living in Bouverie Court in Easton, Bristol, were told in February that the building be demolished due to major faults in its construction.
The housing association that owns the block, Elim Housing, have told residents that they will start seeking possession orders for any properties that are still inhabited by the end of March 2026.
"The last thing we would want to do is implement those proceedings, it's more about how we can work with people and the council to find the residents suitable accommodation," said Paul Smith from Elim Housing.
All residents in Bouverie Court has been added to band one of Bristol City Council's Home Choice housing allocation scheme, meaning they are top priority.
Two of the 21 households have already found new homes and Elim are optimistic that all will be rehomed by the deadline.
"We've got some properties coming up ourselves and more coming through Home Choice that will be suitable. We're hopeful that we can make a lot of progress between now and April," said Mr Smith.
"If someone's still there come April, we're not going to put them on the streets – we will keep working with them to find a suitable alternative."
