Welcome to your tenant handbook

This handbook contains lots of information to help you with your tenancy.

It explains your rights and responsibilities, as well as the Council's responsibilities as your landlord. It also gives details of the housing services the Council provides. This handbook is only a guide to our services and aims to answer the general queries you may have about your home and tenancy. More information available within the Council tenants section of the website.
