This report is seeking approval to update the project plan relating to a review of the standard MDH tenancy agreement.

The Group had before it a report * from the Head of Housing and Health seeking approval to update the project plan relating to a review of the standard MDH tenancy agreement.

The following was highlighted within the report:

·       Approval was sought to update the project plan relating to a review of the standard MDH tenancy agreement.  The project plan also related to the various forms of tenure currently in use at MDH.  In addition, the project encompassed a review of the tenancy management policy which required updating, and which would have to be amended accordingly should tenure reform be agreed.  The report contained a recommendation that the project plan be extended to facilitate detailed consultation with tenants, and other stakeholders, in line with legislative and regulatory requirements, and good practice.

·       The project plan and its timeline had been dependent on the work of the PDG Tenure Reform Working Group including the production of its final report as set out at this meeting. Due to the Member Working Group meeting once more than originally planned, the report from the Working Group to the PDG on this project was delayed from the March meeting to this one.  More time was therefore now needed to enable appropriate consultation with other stakeholders, including tenants, to take place and the project plan has been amended accordingly.

The Chairman requested that an update be provided to the next meeting in September.

It was AGREED that the tenure review project plan be amended as set out in the report.

Note: * Report previously circulated.
