Tenancy agreement
The current Tenancy Agreement has been in use since October 2000 and due to new legislation introduced through the Housing Act 2004, in particular relating to Right to Buy and anti-social behaviour, the agreement had to be revised.
A letter was sent to all tenants in April 2007 detailing the proposed changes and asking for comments, all comments received were taken into consideration and where appropriate incorporated into the new agreement.
We have also tried to increase accessibility and ease of understanding by using pictures to illustrate some of the terms.
The new agreement was approved by Gateshead Council's Cabinet in October 2007 and came into effect on Monday, 3 March 2008.
