Secure Tenancy. If you are an introductory tenant you will automatically become a secure tenant after 12 months, provided you don't breach the conditions of your tenancy. As a secure tenant you have the right, subject to meeting any applicable criteria or gaining any necessary approval, to: • Live in your home for the rest of your life as long as you continue to comply with the requirements of your tenancy agreement • Buy your home at a discount, after a qualifying period • Pass on your home to someone in your family living with you when you die, provided that you yourself had not succeeded the tenancy (subject to certain conditions) • Take in lodgers and sub-let part of your home (although you should note that this may affect any housing benefits that you are receiving) • Have your home repaired (some repairs are the responsibility of the tenant while others are the responsibility of the Council) • Carry out improvements to your home (subject to written consent from your council) • Be compensated for certain improvements you have made if you move home • Take on the management of your estate • Exchange your home with another tenant • Be consulted on housing management matters • Be given information about how the Council runs the homes that it owns You have the right to live in your home indefinitely, as long as the Council does not start legal proceedings to evict you.

Demoted Tenancy A secure tenancy can be downgraded to a demoted tenancy. A demoted tenancy is very similar to an introductory tenancy. You have more limited rights and less protection from eviction than a secure tenancy. The Council has to get a court order if they want to downgrade your tenancy in this way. The court can demote your tenancy if you (or someone who lives with you, or visits you regularly) have behaved anti-socially or caused nuisance in the area, threatened to do so, or used your home for illegal activities such as drug dealing. A demotion order will normally last for one year, unless: • The Council starts possession proceedings against you • You leave your home (in which case you will l...
