More than 200 complaints of anti-social behaviour a week are being made about Queensland public housing tenants, with dozens evicted as a result.
The Housing Department fielded 10,901 complaints in 2019-20, the equivalent of about one complaint for every six homes managed by the Queensland Government.
But the total number of complaints reduced by a significant 26 per cent from the previous financial year, when there were 14,817 lodged.
There were 33 instances of wilful or malicious damage identified in public housing in 2019-20, with the total damages bill reaching $61,770.
"The department actively pursues payment of debts resulting from wilful or malicious damage from tenants and ex-tenants," a Housing Department spokesman said.
