Council Tenants

Tenants introduction

Information covering every aspect of your tenancy is available to council tenants from your Local Housing Office. Examples of what you can find here are listed in the quick links below. These pages also aim to answer many queries and provide contact information for council tenants. Tenants can also contact Gateway at the Civic Centre.

If you want to move, you can find out about the different ways you can do this, by following the Mutual exchange scheme link below.

You can also find advice on setting up a tenants’ association and learn about supported tenancies enabling people with special needs to live independently in the community. There’s news on our low-cost home insurance scheme, as well as the right-to-buy and shared ownership schemes for tenants who wish to buy.
