AROUND a fifth of Dacorum's population could find itself with a new landlord under plans to transfer ownership of all the borough's council housing.
The proposals would mean the sale of 10,500 homes to a housing association, netting £140million for Dacorum Borough Council.
But the main reason for such a move would be a financial squeeze taking place in the council's housing department which means it will have to cut millions from the budget.
Because of government regulations this can only be avoided by transferring the council's homes to a body like a housing association.
However, this can only happen if it is supported in a ballot of all tenants.
A report on the situation will be going to the council's cabinet next Tuesday (January 29).
