"The question must be asked - why are they evicting tenants into homelessness knowing that those very same tenants are going to be reapplying for housing and seeking alternative accommodation through them?," Ben Bartl said on Tuesday.

His comments came after the Full Court of the Supreme Court voted unianimously to dismiss the appeal from Housing Tasmania to evict a tenant on the basis his lease had expired.

On Wednesday, Housing Minister Roger Jaensch was quizzed over the actions of his department during budget estimates.

He said Housing Tasmania would consider the implications of the case before deciding on whether to appeal the Full Court's decision.

Mr Jaensch went on to say about 20 Housing Tasmania tenants had been evicted without reason.

Which takes us back to Mr Bartl's comments surrounding the situation.

The decision to evict tenants for no reason other than the lease ending appears to be senseless given the current state of play of affordable housing in Tasmania.

To have these people, particularly those at risk such as having a disability, out of their house and back on the waiting list does not correlate with what the government is trying to achieve in terms of reducing the waiting list and finding houses for those in need.

Unfortunately around the state, in particular in the surrounding suburbs of Launceston, Housing Tasmania properties have been targeted for vandalism and arson.

These properties are not a birth right, but a privilege. The damage caused to one house reduces the stock available to support others who are doing the right thing and in desperate need of adequate and safe housing.

The minister and his department should continue to focus on addressing the major issues facing the state in relation to the housing crisis and help improve the lives of Tasmanians.
