If, during your introductory tenancy, you breach the conditions that apply to you in this Tenancy Agreement, we can take action to either extend your trial period by a further six months, or end your tenancy by getting a court order. 4.2.3 If you do not break any of the tenancy conditions during this time, you will automatically become a secure tenant on the date written on the Tenancy Agreement (or if this has been extended by a further six months, at the end of the extended trial period of 18 months). 4.2.4 If, during the trial period, we decide to seek possession by issuing court proceedings the tenancy will remain introductory until the court proceedings have been finally determined. 4.2.5 Your responsibilities are the same as those for a secure tenant and are contained within this Tenancy Agreement.

Introductory Tenants. (Section 124 of the Housing Act 1996)

Introductory Tenants. If you have transferred to this property from another secure council tenancy, or from another registered social landlord then you will automatically be a secure tenant and should refer to section 5. This section applies to introductory tenants only. 4.1 If you are an introductory tenant your tenancy agreement will be completed to show the date that your tenancy will become a secure tenancy, provided that there are no breaches of this Agreement. 4.2 An introductory tenancy is a 12-month trial period (unless it is extended) to allow you to show that you can comply with the terms of a council tenancy. If you keep to the terms of this tenancy agreement, and the council has not started possession proceedings during the introductory period, then you will automatically become a secure tenant at the end of the introductory period. 4.3 If you do not comply with the terms of your introductory tenancy, the council has the right to extend your introductory tenancy by an additional six months. Before taking this action, the council will give you notice of its intention to do this, and you will have the right to request a review of the decision to extend your introductory tenancy. 4.4 If you do not comply with the terms of your tenancy agreement the council can also apply to the Court for a possession order and seek your eviction from the property. Before applying to Court, the council has to give you notice and tell you the reasons why it is evicting you and you will have the right to request a statutory review of the decision. As an introductory tenant you have fewer legal rights than a secure tenant, and it is more straightforward for the council to evict you if you do not keep to the terms of this tenancy agreement. 4.5 While you are an introductory tenant you do not have the right to: • Take in lodgers • Carry out improvements to the property • Transfer the tenancy (other than by an assignment under Housing Act 1996 – see 7.1 below) • Exchange properties with another tenant • Exercise the Right to Buy the property.

Permissions may be granted for the following improvements (subject to the conditions within the Permissions Procedure): • Sheds • Greenhouses • Fences • Gates • Hard standings • Satellite Dishes (Subject to planning permission where required) • Adaptations to aid tenant where access is affected e.g. ramps/grab rails. • Laminate Flooring • Burglar Alarms Minor changes such as internal doors, balustrades, architraves etc. will not be granted permission during the introductory 12 month period as this is a minor decorative alteration, which can be given permission if/when the tenancy becomes secure. Introductory tenants being granted permission for improvements during the introductory 12 month period are ineligible for compensation under the Right to Improve for improvements. Initials
