New Council Housing Tenancy Agreement Approval

05/01/2022 - New Council Housing Tenancy Agreement Approval

That the Group Director of Operations, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with the Health and Housing Portfolio, approves the new Tenancy Agreement and the recommended amendments from the consultation exercise.
Following approval, a notice of variation will then be sent to all current Council tenants.

Reasons for the Decision
The existing tenancy agreement for Council tenants has been in place for a number of years and is no longer fit for purpose.
A number of the conditions no longer apply and the existing tenancy agreement does not reflect current practices and legislation.
There is a risk therefore that the existing tenancy agreement could no longer be enforceable in law.
