The consultation
Ealing Council is updating its Tenancy Strategy to reflect changes to government policy and new legislation. The purpose of a Tenancy Strategy is to set out the broad objectives that all registered providers of social rented housing in the borough should have regard to when formulating their own tenancy policies for homes for social housing. Tenancy strategies set out:
- The kinds of tenancies the council and registered providers in the borough should grant
- The circumstances in which social landlords should grant a tenancy of a particular kind
- The length of any fixed-term tenancies
- The circumstances in which a further tenancy should be granted when an existing fixed term tenancy comes up for review.
The draft Tenancy Strategy seeks to promote good quality, well managed, genuinely affordable social rented homes within Ealing. We continue to prefer the use of permanent, “lifetime” tenancies under most circumstances as we believe they support better opportunities, living incomes and healthy great places to live in.
