Brent ended Fixed Terms Tenancies

Brent’s Cabinet has approved a new approach to tenancies across the Borough. The Tenancy Strategy clearly sets out expectations of all landlords, including private landlords: and the Tenancy Management Policy reaffirms the council’s commitments to its own tenants.

The council’s aim is to make sure that all Brent residents who are renting have a guaranteed level of security in their home. The council also pledges to support Brent residents to stay in their homes for as long as is suitable for them and will continue to work actively to prevent homelessness.

The main changes to the way the council manages its own tenancies are:

·         Ending of fixed-term tenancies, and replacing them with lifetime tenancies

·         Introducing demoted tenancies to tackle anti-social behaviour where necessary

·         Offering joint tenancies to cohabiting couples so that both people are protected
