Tenancy status following exchange

Tenants should note that tenancy rights may differ if exchanging with another social landlord. Specifically:

  • A secure tenant exchanging with a housing association tenant may lose secure tenancy rights
  • The type of tenancy granted will depend on the receiving landlord

All parties must:

  • Sign the required legal documentation
  • Complete tenancy sign-up before the exchange can take place

Tenants are encouraged to seek independent housing advice before proceeding.
