Telephone payments issues

You may experience issues when you try to make a payment to us on our automated payment phone line. Apologies for the inconvenience while our payment provider resolves the issue.

Your tenancy agreement with us

​​Your tenancy agreement will contain details of:

  • tenancy agreement and keys
  • your rent and other charges
  • your responsibilities as a tenant
  • the council's responsibilities
  • changing the terms of your tenancy
  • how to end your tenancy
  • other conditions

There are three types of tenancies:

Introductory tenancies 

When you become a Council tenant you are asked to sign a tenancy agreement between you and the Council.

Secure fixed term tenancies 

Since April 2013 new council tenants have been given a secure fixed term tenancy after one year of being an introductory tenant.

Once you have become a fixed term secure tenant and as long you keep to the terms of your tenancy, you have the right to occupy the premises for as long as your tenancy lasts.

Secure tenancies 

Residents who were already council tenants before April 2013 will have secure tenancies.

Tenant Management Organisations (TMO) tenancies 

Tenant Management Organisations (TMOs)​​ manage properties on behalf of the Council. However, the Tenancy Agreement signed by the tenant is between the Council and the tenant.​​
