Tenancy Strategy Consultation Open Now | Latest News

If you are a social housing tenant then your views are needed!

The council are consulting on the new Tenancy Strategy, until the 4th of December, and your feedback as tenants is important and will be considered and used to finalise the strategy.

The Localism Act of 2011 introduced a requirement for local housing authorities in England to prepare and publish a Tenancy Strategy.

The purpose of a tenancy strategy is to give Registered Providers of Social Housing operating in Southend-on-Sea an indication of the approach the Council would like them to take when preparing their Tenancy Management Policies.

This also impacts upon the types of tenancy the Council will offer to prospective tenants of the Council’s housing stock.

Local authorities have an obligation to consult private registered providers on a draft of the strategy, but would also like to hear from existing social housing tenants and also potential future tenants.
