Offer of Tenancy to new tenants

All housing waiting list applicants who are allocated general public sector housing will normally be offered a 5 year fixed term tenancy. Housing providers may choose to issue a shorter duration fixed term tenancy for new tenants from the Housing Waiting list to ensure the new tenant is conducting their tenancy as required.

When tenants are offered a new tenancy, their housing provider will inform them in writing about what they should expect to happen before their tenancy is due to expire at the end of the fixed term period.
