Introductory Tenancies Sample Clauses

Introductory Tenancies. All new tenants are given an introductory tenancy that lasts for 12 months. The introductory tenancy is a trial period for you to show us that you can keep to this tenancy agreement. If you have kept to this tenancy agreement, your tenancy will automatically become a secure tenancy. We can extend an introductory tenancy to 18 months if we are not sure whether you are keeping to the tenancy agreement, for example if you have rent arrears. As an introductory tenant, if you fail to keep to your tenancy agreement and we decide to take action to end your tenancy, we can do so more easily and quickly than with a secure tenancy. This is because the court has only limited powers to prevent a possession order being made against an introductory tenant. If we decide to take action to end or extend your introductory tenancy, we will serve you with a statutory notice to terminate or extend. If this happens you will have the opportunity to ask us to review our decision to serve you with a notice. You must make this request within 14 days of receiving the notice.

Introductory Tenancies. When you were given this tenancy you will have been told whether you are a secure tenant or an introductory tenant. If you are an introductory tenant then please read this section carefully as it explains the special conditions that apply to you. If you are a secure tenant then please move on to section 3. If you are not sure then check the front of your tenancy agreement and this will tell you which kind of tenancy you have.

Introductory Tenancies. On becoming a Tenant of Grove Community Housing Association for the first time the Tenant will be an Introductory Tenant unless he or she, or in the case of joints tenants one or more of them, held a Secure Tenancy at the time in another Registered HousingAssociation or in the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. An Introductory Tenancy allows the Tenant to prove to the Association that he or she is able to abide by the Tenancy Agreement provisions. As long as the Introductory Tenant has not breached the Tenancy Agreement over a oneyear period, he or she will become a Secure Tenant at the end of that year. If there are breaches, under certain circumstances the Introductory Tenancy may be extended or it may be terminated by following proper procedure. Some of the rights of a Secure Tenancy do not apply to an Introductory Tenancy including the rights to exchange, to purchase the home, to sub-let or take in lodgers andto make major alterations to the home.

Introductory Tenancies. The Association can end an Introductory Tenancy if the Tenant breaks the terms of their Tenancy Agreement by building up serious rent arrears or through anti-social behaviour. If correct procedures are followed, the Court must grant possession to the Association. Details of the procedure are in the Tenants Handbook.

Introductory Tenancies. If you have never been a tenant of Rugby Borough Council, you will become an introductory tenant for the first 12 months of your tenancy. However, if you are already a tenant of a council or housing association then you will usually become a secure tenant straight away (unless your tenancy with that landlord is an introductory or assured shorthold tenancy). If you keep to the Terms and Conditions of your introductory tenancy agreement, you will automatically become a secure tenant at the end of the first 12 months. In certain circumstances the introductory tenancy can be extended by a further six months. Introductory tenants have fewer legal rights than secure tenants, for example an introductory tenant does not have the right to buy their home. If you break any conditions of your introductory tenancy agreement you can be evicted much more quickly and easily than a secure tenant. Should it become necessary to start possession proceedings to end your tenancy, you have the right to have the council’s decision to seek possession reviewed by a senior manager. You can find advice on exercising this right in the tenants’ handbook. Secure Tenancies A secure tenancy gives you a number of additional rights, outlined in section 3 of this agreement. In general, as long as you keep to the rules of your tenancy agreement, including paying your rent and not being involved in anti-social behaviour you can live in your home for the rest of your life. If we seek to end a secure tenancy then we must obtain a court order to be able to do so. In cases of anti-social behaviour or unlawful conduct we may apply for a demoted tenancy.

Introductory Tenancies. If you are a new tenant you will have signed an introductory tenancy agreement. This means that for the first 12 months you don't have all the rights of a secure tenant, and could be evicted more quickly and easily if you break your tenancy agreement. As an introductory tenant, you don't have the right to exchange with another tenant or to sublet your home, and you need to ask our permission to make home improvements or to take in lodgers. You do not have the right to buy yet, but your introductory tenancy will count towards your entitlement period if you choose to buy later. There is information in the antisocial behaviour pages about why we might want to evict a tenant. There is more information about tenancies in your copy of the Tenancy Conditions, and about introductory tenancies in a leaflet you can get from your housing office.
