Tenancy Agreements

There are two types of tenancy agreements. If you have been a tenant for at least 12 months you are a secure council tenant.  If you have been a tenant for less than 12 months you will be an introductory tenant. 

You have fewer rights if you are an introductory tenant – but as long as there have been no problems during the first 12 months of your tenancy; you automatically become a secure tenant, with full legal rights.

If you are not sure which agreement you have, contact us.

The Pet Policy [pdf document] sets out the rules and conditions for keeping pets in housing properties.  The purpose of this is to set out reasonable requirements for the keeping of common household pets in order to provide a decent, safe and clean area for current and prospective tenants, Council employees and the public, and to preserve the physical condition of housing properties.
