Hong Kong housing authorities have evicted the mother of wanted activist Nathan Law Kwun-chung from a public sector flat in Tung Chung over rent arrears.
The Housing Department on Sunday told the Post it had issued a letter three months ago to terminate the tenancy.
“According to our records, the tenant has owed rent and breached the tenancy agreement … we have taken back the flat in June after completing the relevant procedures,” a department spokeswoman said.
The department said it renovated repossessed flats before they were allocated to new tenants.
People in public rental housing can also be evicted if they are found to have abused their tenancies by subletting.
Use of public housing for illegal activities or making a false declaration of income and assets are also grounds for eviction.
