This page is for F&HDC council tenants only. If you are not a council tenant view our home page.
Over the next few months we are planning to revise and update the terms and conditions of our tenancy agreement.
This will affect all tenants so please read on for more information
Why does the tenancy agreement need updating?
The terms and conditions of our secure tenancy agreement has not had any significant updates since 2006. Since then there have been a lot of changes to the way we live, to regulation, and generally accepted good practice. The Agreement needs updating to reflect this.

How can I comment on the proposed changes?
The consultation period has now closed. All the comments we received are being reviewed and will be taken into consideration when we produce the final version of the new tenancy agreement.
What happens next?
A final version of the new tenancy agreement is currently being drafted. It will then need to be formally approved by the Cabinet Committee of the Council. This is scheduled to take place at the end of March 2025.
Once the final version has been approved, we will write to all tenants with a copy of the new agreement, and giving you a formal four weeks Notice that new terms and conditions will be coming to into effect.
After this date, these will be the new terms and conditions of your council tenancy. You will not be required to sign a new agreement and your rent will not be affected.
