Band B applicants for whom the Council has accepted a homeless duty or has facilitated a Short Term Tenancy in order to prevent homelessness can bid for up to three properties per week. If your bid is successful, you will be expected to accept the offer provided it is reasonable. If such a Rented band B applicant fails to make bids via Home Choice, after a period of 12 months the Council reserves the right to make bids on the applicant’s behalf. If a second reasonable offer is refused the Council will have discharged its duty towards you and if you are occupying temporary accommodation or a short-term tenancy arranged by the Council you will be evicted. You will then have to find your own accommodation privately.
