Reasons why I would not be offered a property
1. Are there any reasons why the Council would not offer me a property?
The Council has the right not to make an offer, if the applicant:
- requests an area where they may be unable to sustain a tenancy due to lack of support, for example if they have medical priority on support grounds and the property is not near the support network
- requests a property that is too small for their family circumstances, and this would lead to cramped living conditions
- has specific needs for disability adaptations and the property does not meet these requirements
- has been involved in anti-social or criminal behaviour in the last 12 months (including members of the household)
- has breached a condition of their current tenancy, for example rent arrears
- cannot afford to take on the tenancy
Where the Council has reserved the right not to offer a property the applicant will be advised in writing of the reasons for this decision.
