Are Housing Association Tenancies The Same As Solihull Council Tenancies?
As a council tenant you have a secure tenancy agreement. New Housing Association tenants have an ‘assured tenancy’, which still provides long term security of tenure. This means that you will not have to leave your home unless you want to, or if the Association has good reason for taking the property back that can be proven to a court. An important difference is that ‘assured tenants’ will not be eligible for the Right to Buy. The Charter for Housing Association Applicants and Residents sets out what housing association applicants and residents can expect from their housing association landlords.
