Flexible Tenancy.
6.3.1 Flexible tenancies (or fixed term tenancies) are tenancies that are offered for a specified period of time, as opposed to secure lifetime tenancies. A flexible tenancy is a form of secure tenancy, and generally, tenants with a flexible tenancy have the same rights as other secure tenants (as set out in the Tenants Charter under the Housing Act 1985).
6.3.2 The Localism Act 2011 amends the Housing Act 1996 to allow introductory tenancies to become flexible tenancies at the end of the introductory period, if local authorities wish to provide flexible tenancies.
6.3.3 The Council will provide flexible tenancies only in exceptional circumstances such as:
a) To support a Local Lettings Plan that would bring benefits to the community or geographical area.
b) To support funding opportunities such as government grants. For example, where grant conditions mean the use of a fixed term tenancy would offer the best use of stock.
c) Households who have limited leave to enter or remain in UK.
6.3.4 Fixed term tenancies will be for at least 5 years unless in exceptional circumstances, where minimum of two-year fixed term can be offered. Exceptional circumstances include:
a) The tenant has less than 5 years limited leave to remain in the UK.
6.3.5 All flexible tenancies granted in accordance with this Tenancy Policy will have an introductory period of 12 months added to the beginning of the fixed term (unless immediately prior to the letting, the tenant held a more secure form of tenancy such as secure, assured, flexible or fixed term), which may be extended by a further 6 months where there are breaches of tenancy conditions as stated in 6.1.
Flexible Tenancy. If your tenancy becomes a Flexible Tenancy at the end of the qualifying period, this means that your tenancy will last for a fixed term of 5 years. You have the right to remain in your home until the end of the fixed term unless you breach the terms and conditions of the Flexible Tenancy and we obtain an order for possession of your home. At the end of the 5 years, you will either be asked to move out or we will grant you a new tenancy depending on your circumstances at the time and the way you have conducted the tenancy. If we decide not to grant you another tenancy at the end of the fixed term we will give you at least 6 months’ notice. You have the right to ask us to review our decision not to grant you another tenancy. If the decision to end your Flexible Tenancy is upheld, we will serve on you a notice requiring possession giving you at least 2 months’ notice that possession of your home is required. If you remain in your home after the Flexible Tenancy ends we will take action to recover your home by asking the court to make an order for possession. If you do not keep to the terms and conditions of this tenancy we may seek a possession order to evict you. It is therefore important that you, your family and your visitors know exactly what is expected whilst you are our tenant. Please read your tenancy agreement carefully and ask us any questions if there is anything you don’t understand. If you have any difficulties reading tell us and we will go through the terms with you. Please also ensure that you keep this tenancy agreement in a safe place as you may wish to look at it if you have a question about it in the future.
