Types of Council tenancy

If you rent your home from the Council, you become a Council tenant.

You will be given a tenancy agreement that sets out the Council's obligations as your landlord, and your responsibilities as a tenant.

Occupation of the property

You must live in your Council property and use it as your main home. You must inform the Council if the property is going to be empty for a period of more than six weeks. If the property is left empty for long periods, the Council may require the tenancy to be given up.
