Tenancy Agreement Consultation

Will this variation of the agreement affect my tenancy?

Generally, no. We are proposing to change some of the terms and conditions of your existing Tenancy Agreement. These actions will not affect how the council reviews your rent or end your current tenancy.

Will I need to sign another tenancy agreement?

No, you will not be required to sign anything. We will send you a new Tenancy Agreement once the consultation is complete.

Why has the tenancy agreement changed?

The tenancy agreement was last updated in 2017. From time to time, we need to make changes to the tenancy agreement. This is to ensure it is up to date with current legislation.

We also need to make sure the terms and conditions allow us to manage our tenancies and estates effectively and to a standard we would all like to see.

Who will this affect?

Everyone who lives in or visits the property. The tenant, or where there are two people, both tenants are responsible for making sure all terms and conditions are kept to. This means the tenant is responsible for everyone who lives in the property. The tenant is also responsible for the actions of any visitors to the property.

What do I need to do?

The summary document which explains the proposed changes and a draft of the new tenancy agreement are available online. If you have any comments submit these via our survey before 31 January.

We will consider all consultation comments and take these into account before we finalise the Tenancy Agreement.
