Types of Tenures
Published on:
Assured tenancies – for existing assured or secure social tenants and those new customers in extra care or housing for older people homes
Starter tenancies - these are tenancies that roll into a fixed term tenancy for new tenants where after our pre-allocation assessment we identify there is likely to be a need to keep a close eye on the tenancy in the early days. This may be due to historical factors such as a previous history of rent arrears, or concerns around health conditions, lack of previous tenancies held, etc
Licences for 16/17 year olds that roll into starter tenancies upon them reaching the age of 18
Assured short hold tenancies for intermediate rent
Assured short hold tenancies for short-term accommodation to help our local authority partners prevent homelessness.
When we might offer a licence that rolls into a starter tenancy. We will in the majority of circumstances offer starter tenancies to new tenants. When dealing with certain types of potential new tenants, (ie. Ex-offenders with substance abuse) due to historical problems, the administration time and cost of managing lettings and tenancies in those circumstances we will offer a 12 week licence that flows into a starter tenancy.
