Decision details

To approve minor changes to the Tenancy Policy.

RESOLVED that

·         the proposal to end the use of flexible tenancies for council homes be approved;

·         the updated conditions of tenancy, to be implemented from 5 September 2022, (following statutory notice) be approved; and

·         the revised Tenancy Policy be adopted.

Reason: Stopping issuing flexible tenancies will provide tenants with long term security in their home, reduce unwarranted administrative bureaucracy and improve the landlord and tenant relationship and communications. 

Updating the conditions of tenancy for all council tenants will reflect changes in law, regulation and general accepted good practice.

The policy has been updated following the consultation and the decision to stop issuing flexible tenancies to council tenants.
