What is changing and why?
We have created a summary of changes document detailing the main changes we are proposing in the new tenancy agreement (pdf / 551 KB).
Tenancy agreement
Because existing agreements vary, we’ve highlighted the areas that may be most relevant to you. Please note that the proposed changes will apply to all tenants, except flexible tenants from the legacy Harrogate and Selby districts.
The tenancy agreement has been updated for clarity and accuracy. It brings it up to date with current legislation and best practice.
Tenancy policy
We also sought feedback on the proposed changes to our tenancy policy.
Next steps
