Flexible Tenancies Clause Samples

Flexible Tenancies. The changes to the tenancy agreement surrounding flexible tenancies do not affect existing secure tenants. These changes are outlined below: 1. The tenancy agreement shows how long the flexible tenancy is expected to run for, when it will be reviewed and when action will be taken to end the tenancy. 2. It includes a section on the review process to decide whether the tenancy will be renewed.

Flexible Tenancies. When you die, your tenancy will pass to your husband, wife or civil partner (or a person who you lived with as if you were husband and wife or civil partners) if they were living with you at the time of your death. No other family member can succeed to your tenancy. If a joint tenant dies the tenancy will pass to the other joint tenant and this will count as a succession.

Flexible Tenancies. If you have been given a flexible tenancy we will review this at least 8 months before the tenancy is due to end. The criteria that we will use when carrying out the review are set out in the Council’s Tenancy Strategy. If following a review of your tenancy we decide not to grant a new flexible tenancy you have the right to ask us to review our decision but you must do so within 21 days of the date of the review. The full review process is set out in the Council’s Tenancy Strategy. Should the appeals be unsuccessful you have the right to take your case to the county court. It the county court upholds the review decision; you will be obliged to leave/give us vacant possession. You have the right to take in lodgers or sublet part of your home as long as you keep to the terms covered in section 8. Subletting means giving a tenancy to someone else and charging them rent. You must not sublet all of your property. As a secure tenant you have the right to legally transfer your tenancy as long as you keep to the terms covered in section 8j. Flexible tenants can only transfer to another flexible tenancy. On any management transfer or exchange, we shall serve a notice on you setting out the period of the flexible tenancy to be granted, and your rights of review are as set out earlier We must carry out certain urgent or ‘qualifying’ repairs within a set time (you can find details about these timescales on our website). If we do not complete them within a certain time and do not give you a good reason for not doing the work, we will make a new appointment for the work to be carried out, and treat it as urgent. If we miss the appointment we will pay you compensation. At the end of your tenancy (which usually means when you move out), you have the right to claim back the cost (compensation) from us for certain improvements you have made to your home which we gave our permission for. You can find more details on our website.

We will write to you to tell you the outcome of the review. (b) If we are not going to grant you a further flexible tenancy, we will give you at least six months’ notice that the tenancy is coming to an end. A further notice will be sent to you at least two months prior to the end date. We will make it clear that we do not propose to grant another tenancy and the reason for that decision. (c) You have a right to request a review of our decision not to grant a further flexible tenancy but only where our decision does not accord with our published tenancy policy.
