Why do the mentally ill people have more legal right and power to do what they want...?

Why do public housing in Qld (Australia) give the right and power to a mentally ill person to evict a resident (who has not done anything wrong and is not mental ) from their shared home just because they want to and out of vindictiveness and spitefulness?

This person who has been evicted use to be that person's carer and housekeeper and a relative too.

A Public Housing agent has accepted that demented person as the legal tenant and she has the right to do anything just because she is mentally disturbed.

This is not fair to well adjusted decent hard working individuals who have gone out of their way to help and assist those who are sick and in temporary care. I believe that the main reason why there is a housing shortage because too many mentally ill individuals are set free in public housing at a low rental rate ( 25% of benefits) to do as they want even if it affects ordinary people.

Some of these mentally disturbed should not be allowed to live in these low cost housing and be sent to a permanent psychiatric institution or a village where they will receive constant care and monitoring.

Update:

This will remove the high amount of homeless people, crime rate, domestic violence and save the government and taxpayers a lot of money. Public housing should be available for the low income earners, the elderly, those who are temporarily sick, the injured, disabled and those out of temporary work who cannot afford the private rental market.

    lol

    you sound intelligent and well adjusted

    disputes of that type are always settled according to the law

    presumably you were either not named on the lease docs or were only there because of the other tenants desire to have you there in the first instance

    youll get over it

    This person was the legal tenant. As public housing the house belongs to them and you have no claim to it. The mentally ill are placed in hospitals and hostels alike - so the person you are talking about is not severe enough. You have lost out on a cheap housing (or free most likely) and are just angry.

    The st could have been written the other way. "A freeloading relative has been staying with supposedly to help. They have turned my house into a party house with their friends coming over each weekend, eating my food, increasing all bills and not helping out with money. I had to get the government to step in to get rid of them"
