About your tenancy

If you have a question about your tenancy or need advice about the tenancy rules, please contact us – we’re here to help.

You become a tenant when you sign a tenancy agreement and live in the property as your home.Your tenancy agreement is a legal contract.

There are two types of tenancy agreement. If you have been a tenant for at least 12 months you are a secure tenant. If you have been a tenant for less than 12 months, you will probably be a probationary tenant.

Probationary tenants have fewer rights - but as long as there are no problems during your first year with us, you automatically become a secure tenant.

If you are not sure which agreement you have or you have lost your copy of your tenancy rules please ask us or you can view a copy online.
