You must continue to meet all the conditions of your tenancy agreement. If you don't we can still take action against you and you could end up losing your home.
Your housing officer will monitor your probationary tenancy regularly to ensure that you are behaving as a responsible tenant. We will help you to keep to your tenancy agreement by explaining the conditions of the agreement and by visiting you to help you settle into your new home and to discuss any problems you may be having. We aim to carry out this visit about 6 weeks from your tenancy start date, and again after nine months.
All flexible tenancies have a fixed end date.
Before the end of your flexible tenancy the council will undertake a formal review to determine if you should be granted a fresh flexible tenancy at the end of your current tenancy. This new tenancy could relate to the property you currently live in or it could relate to suitable alternative accommodation which best meets the needs of your household. The outcome of this review will be communicated to you not less than six months before the end of your current tenancy.
