Your responsibilities as a council tenant

When you have accepted a Council tenancy you will be issued with a Housing Tenancy Agreement that details your responsibilities regarding your home. You are responsible for the behaviour of every person (including children) living in the property, whether temporarily or permanently and for the behaviour of any visitor (including children) to the property.

Please use this link to view what your Tenancy Agreement states.

If your tenancy conditions are breached, we will investigate the matter and could take legal action against you, someone living with, or visiting you, in order to prevent the further occurrence of acts of nuisance, harassment or anti-social behaviour.
