The Portfolio Holder – Homes & Health presented a report detailing the outcomes of the Council’s tenancy agreement review following tenant and officer consultation and which set out the key changes proposed to the existing agreement along with a new draft tenancy agreement. The Council was legally obligated to consult with all tenants in line with section 103 of the Housing Act 1985; and this period of consultation commenced on 9 December 2022 and closed on 16 January 2023. The review process included a working group consisting of members of the tenancy team and involved tenants.
