  • You have the right to buy your home
  • You take in lodgers
  • You can make any improvements to your home
  • You can exchange properties with another tenant;
  • You could be paid for some improvements that you have made (if you move house)
  • You can manage your estate through local organisations

  • You are entitled to live in a “decent home”

 

What is assured tenancy?

Rights set out in Housing Act 1988, 1996 plus additional rights contract (tenancy agreement). The Housing Corporation oversees the work of housing associations (registered social landlords) and ensures that additions rights are given to assured tenants as per Tenants Charter.
