Informationabout moving in, change of tenancy, ending your tenancy and who your housing manager is
Your tenancy agreement sets out your rights and responsibilities as a council tenant.
Anti-Social behaviour can affect anybody. Living in your own home without feeling threatened or being subject to noise nuisance is something we want every one of our tenants to be able to enjoy. Loud music, barking dogs, and unreasonable behaviour are all anti-social and no-one should have to suffer from them. The Council does take this issue very seriously and will be keen to work with you to tackle any problems you may have.
Many council tenants and leaseholders believe that we automatically insure furniture, belongings and decorations against theft, fire, vandalism, or burst pipes. This is not the case. Unfortunately, many people only realise this after the damage has been done.
The council offers a scheme at competitive rates, underwritten by a reputable insurance company.
Find information on what your responsibilities are when moving out of your council home, if someone you know is moving in to permanent residential or nursing home care, and advice on what to if a relative in tenancy has passed away.
You can also find out lots of useful information and advice on housing matters under our Advice and Support pages.
