Welcome

We want to hear your views on our draft Tenancy Strategy and Policy before a final decision is made.


The Tenancy Strategy sets out the approach we recommend housing associations and other social landlords in Redbridge should consider. The Tenancy Policy explains the Council’s approach to its own tenants.


The main proposal is to continue offering new Council tenants a secure lifetime tenancy after they successfully complete a 12-month starter tenancy. This reflects the Council’s existing practice. We also want your views on support to keep a tenancy, moving home and what happens when a tenant dies.


There are no right or wrong answers. You can agree, disagree or suggest a different approach. You do not need to read the full strategy to take part: each section explains the proposal being discussed. You can skip any question.


These proposals do not change who qualifies for the housing register or their priority for housing. This consultation does not propose changes to rent levels or benefit rules.


Your feedback will help us review the proposals and their possible effects. We will publish a summary of what people told us and explain what we changed, what we did not change and why.


This survey is not a way to report a repair, make a complaint or get a decision on an individual housing application or tenancy case. Please do not include names, addresses, account numbers or other details that could identify you or anyone else in your comments.
