Council tenants - advice and support
If you are an existing Council Tenant, advice and assistance is available on matters such as rents, transfers, mutual exchanges and general matters relating to your tenancy.
As part of the Government's agenda to improve services for local people, all Councils with a housing stock are required to produce a Tenant Participation Compact.
A Compact is essentially an agreement about the working relationship between tenants, councillors and housing staff at a local authority. By ensuring that tenants are partners to the agreement, the Government intends that tenants should have the opportunity to have a proper say in how their homes are managed and to then have a real choice in the extent and nature of their involvement.
If you want to find out more about the arrangements in the Tenant Participation Compact or have any comments or queries, please use the contact details above.
