Decision details

To receive a report from the Head of Housing and Property Services reviewing the existing policy.

Arising from a report of the Head of Housing and Property Services, the Managing the Decent and Affordable Homes Development Group had recommended that the revised Tenancy Changes Policy be approved

The Cabinet Member for Housing outlined the contents of the report stating that the policy had been updated and set out how the Council would deal effectively with tenancy changes, such as successions, assignments in accordance with a Court Order, mutual exchange or assignment to a person qualified to succeed to a tenancy; or a joint tenancy request. The policy contained a new section which explained how the tenant may seek written consent to change their tenancy to either sole or joint tenancy; any requests were at the discretion of the Housing Service.

RESOLVED that the revised policy be approved.
