A revised tenancy agreement will come into effect for all secure council tenants in Barnet on Monday 30 July.
See a sample copy of the new tenancy agreement. The changes do not affect the start of date of your original tenancy.
The changes to the agreement mainly apply to new tenants. From 9 July 2012 new tenancies may be offered as flexible (or fixed term) tenancies. That replaces the previous system where all new secure tenancies were offered for as long as the tenant wanted.
The current rights of existing tenants are fully protected in law and have now been changed.
The only exception is how we decide to allow discretionary succession to a tenancy. This is set out in the new tenancy agreement.
All tenants were consulted by letter about the changes to the agreement. A further letter is now being sent to all tenants to inform them of the outcome of the consultation.
