About our housing tenancy changes consultation – your voice matters
Consultation closes: Tuesday 19 May 2026
Consultation opened: Tuesday 7 April 2026
We currently provide around 5,600 council homes. Everyone who rents a council home has a tenancy agreement which is a written document that explains the rights and responsibilities of both the tenant and us. It sets out what tenants can expect from us as their landlord, and what we expect from tenants in return.
A tenancy agreement is a legal document that helps make sure everyone understands where they stand. For tenants, it explains things like how long they can stay in their home, how rent works, and what support they can expect. It helps us manage homes fairly, keep properties safe and well-maintained, and make sure we meet our legal duties. From time to time, we need to review and update the tenancy agreement so it stays clear, up to date, and reflects how we provide housing.
We are now proposing some changes to the tenancy agreement. These changes are intended to improve clarity and make sure the agreement continues to work well for both tenants and us.
Because we’re proposing changes, we are running a public consultation to give tenants the opportunity to read about the proposed changes and tell us what they think before any decisions are made.
