Tenancy policy

Policy statement

The aim of the policy is to be clear and transparent about the way the Council approaches tenancy management.

The specific objectives of the Tenancy Policy are to:

Identify the types of tenancy that the Council offers.
Set out the circumstances under which tenancies will be granted.
Clarify the length of tenancies to be granted.
Be clear on the circumstances under which a further tenancy may be granted when a tenancy comes to an end.

This policy also provides an example Tenancy Policy for registered providers operating in our area, who must have regard to our Tenancy Strategy when setting their own rent policies.
