Decision details

In accordance with the requirements of the Localism Act 2011 the Council had produced a Tenancy Strategy.  The Act introduced flexible tenancies under which Registered Providers could grant fixed term tenancies for a period of no less than 2 years, and determine the type and duration of a tenancy offered to new tenants, including the retention of lifetime tenancies. 

The Strategy set out the matters to which Registered Providers of social housing in its district are to have regard to in formulating policies relating to tenancies. 

RESOLVED

That approval be given to the Tenancy Strategy and that Officers be authorised to take all necessary actions to implement the Strategy.
