About your home
When you move into your new home you will be asked to sign a Tenancy Agreement. This will be an assured tenancy, which means:
- You can stay in your home for as long as you wish provided you do not break your tenancy agreement;
- You cannot be evicted from your home except by a court order;
- Your rent is set by the association;
- When you die your tenancy can normally be taken over by a member of the family who is living in the property at the time of your death.
A member of the neighbourhood services team or your Sheltered Housing Officer will also explain:
- The conditions of your tenancy
- The start date of your tenancy
- The operation of installations in your home
- The service providied by the association
- Arrangements for paying your rent
- Any decoration allowance which may be available
