Introductory Tenancy Consultation

Give us your views on our Introductory Tenancy Review.

Four years ago, the Council started using introductory tenancies for all new tenancies of Council homes. We are now carrying out a review of their use and are seeking the views of tenants of the Council on whether or not we should continue using introductory tenancies.

The Council and Stevenage Homes would like to continue using introductory tenancies because we feel that the advantages of such tenancies benefit not only all tenants but also the wider community.

The advantages of introductory tenancies are:

• They allow Stevenage Homes to take action quickly and easily when tackling anti-social behaviour, neighbour nuisance, rent arrears and other tenancy breaches.
• They help Stevenage Homes to pick up on problems early, and offer appropriate advice and support to tenants to help them to keep their homes.
• Secure tenancies will only be offered to tenants who have paid their rent on time and kept to the terms of their tenancy agreement.

See the link below to find out about the differences between secure and introductory tenancies.
