Your Tenancy Agreement
Your tenancy agreement is a legal contract. It explains your rights and responsibilities as the tenant, and our rights and responsibilities as your landlord.
By signing the tenancy agreement, you agree that you understand and accept all of the rights and responsibilities for your new property.
There are different types of tenancy agreement. Your housing officer will explain the type of tenancy you hold and what this means to you.
All tenancy agreements include the following information.
- Who the agreement is between
- The address of the property
- The rent charged for the property
- What you can expect from us
- What we expect from you
To make sure you understand all of these rights and responsibilities, your housing officer will discuss them with you when you receive the keys to your property.
If you are not sure what any part of your tenancy agreement means, even after you have moved in, please contact your housing officer.
We can arrange for your tenancy agreement to be translated into another language if this will make it easier for you to understand.
We can also provide tenancy agreements in different formats, such as braille, large print and audio tape. If you would like your tenancy agreement in any of these formats or a different language, please talk to your Housing Officer.
It is important that you keep your copy of the tenancy agreement somewhere safe because you may need it in the future. This is especially important if you receive any state benefits.
