New Tenancy Agreement

Your Tenancy agreement is changing…

In partnership with 2010 Rotherham Ltd, Rotherham Borough Council is changing its tenancy agreement. This is to ensure the document is up to date, reflects all changes in legislation and clearly states the rights and responsibilities of both tenant and landlord.

Most tenants will have received a legal notice detailing the proposed changes and inviting them to view the document and make comments.

We need your views.....

We have decided to extend the legal 4 weeks consultation period with customers to 12 weeks. This means customers have until the 3rd November 2008 to give feedback.

During this time we are keen to receive as many comments as possible from customers and stakeholders.

You can download a copy of the new agreement here
Tenancy Agreement (471kb)

and give us your views online using our New Tenancy Agreement Feedback eform

Alternatively customers can view the document at local 2010 Neighbourhood Offices, our Customer Service Centres and the Key Choices Property Shop

Staff will be able to explain the changes and the next steps.

To support customers further we have arranged road shows around the borough throughout August and September where customers can get further information.
