Hounslow Council is now issuing five-year fixed term tenancy agreements.
If you have a fixed term tenancy, a review of your tenancy will be carried out within for the last 12 months of your tenancy. You will then be sent a tenancy review form to complete.
You will need to complete the form and return it to us, so that a decision can be made about whether the council will agree to issue you with a new fixed term tenancy. Details of sending the form will be sent to you.
Where a renewal is agreed the standard tenancy offered is a further 5-year tenancy however in exceptional circumstances a 2-year fixed term tenancy may be offered.
Where the following circumstances apply the council may decide not to offer you a new tenancy in which case you would be expected to vacate the property:
- The household lives in a 1 or 2 bedroom property and has a gross household income of more than £64,300.
- The household lives in a 3 bedroom or more property and has a gross household income of more than £77,200.
- A household member has been convicted of criminal activity inside or in the vicinity of the property within the term of the tenancy being reviewed.
- There has been a breach of tenancy terms, for example, not giving access to allow a gas safety certificate to be completed, Anti-Social Behaviour or substantial rent arrears.
- The property is under occupied by one or more bedrooms. In this circumstance a tenancy will be offered for a property of a suitable size unless any of the factors above also apply.
- The property is adapted for a person no longer living in the household. In this circumstance a tenancy will be offered for an alternative suitable property unless any of the factors above also apply.
- You were housed on the basis that you were or intended to be a foster carer but you are no longer fostering. Again, if there is under occupation a tenancy will be offered for a property of a suitable size unless any of the factors above also apply.
