Fixed Term Tenancies – Free Members Roundtable

As part of the Housing and Planning Act, Fixed Term Tenancies are due to come into effect in Autumn 2017. Councils will introduce tenancies for most new council tenants for a period of two to ten years, rather than granting a lifetime tenancy with extensions for those with a disability or with children. It is possible that similar measures will be introduced for housing associations via changes to regulations.

The Housing Minister, Gavin Barwell, has said “fixed-term tenancies will better enable councils to give priority to people with the greatest housing need.”

The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has set up a working group of 20 councils to help develop regulations and guidance on fixed-term tenancies. The introduction of this policy will mean significant changes for NHC members, therefore the NHC would like to invite members to a FREE roundtable to:

• Hear the latest from the DCLG Fixed Term Policy team.
• Discuss the opportunities and challenges of the policy.
• Hear of the different approaches adopted across the North.
• Discuss implementation of the policy.
• Examine the risks associated and what organisations need to consider.

Share good practice and network.
