The majority of new council tenants receive an introductory tenancy for the first year. Once they have completed the introductory tenancy to our satisfaction, tenants receive a secure tenancy.

Secure tenancies offer additional rights, including the right to buy and the right to exchange.

Providing tenants do not breach the tenancy conditions, a secure tenant can usually keep their tenancy for life.
