Repairs to empty council homes

Tidy clearance scheme

If you leave your home clean and clear when you move out, you may be eligible for a £100 tidy clearance bonus.

To claim, you need to:

  • give your housing officer 4 weeks written notice to end your tenancy
  • make a claim to the voids team within 4 weeks after your notice to quit expires
  • leave your property (including loft space, sheds, outside buildings, garages and gardens) clear of all rubbish, floor coverings, furniture and any other unwanted items
  • make sure your property is left in good condition 
  • clear any rent arrears

If you meet these conditions, you can apply for the bonus. Email voids@ealing.gov.uk for more information.
