Council tenants - Your tenancy

Some tenancies are neither secure periodic, flexible fixed term or introductory . These are known as non-secure tenancies. This may apply if for example:

• a property is linked to your job
• a propety is let to you temporarily
• you sub-let the whole of your property
• you do not live in the property as your main home

If you are a non-secure tenant, you do not have the same rights as a secure periodic or flexible fixed term tenant. You do not have the right to:

• buy your property
• succession for members of your family
• apply to exchange your tenancy
• ask for another contractor to do an urgent repair when the repair has not been done in time
• sub-let part of the property
• compensation for improvements
