Selection criteria for new tenants

Please note that the Trust gives priority to local people in need, whether working or retired and to those who have strong family connections with the area.
 

Applicants need to:

  • Demonstrate a genuine housing need
  • Show that present accommodation is inadequate or unsatisfactory
  • Be unable to buy or rent privately at prevailing local prices
  • Have strong connections with the local community in which the property is situated
  • Live or brought up locally, relatives living locally
  • Have been employed locally for a significant period
​
NB: Tenancies are reviewed regularly.  Tenants may be invited to continue their occupation of a Trust’s property on completion of their Tenancy Agreement if they continue to meet the relevant criteria.
 
Regular contact with Tenants is maintained and property inspections are undertaken by Trustees. Failure to comply with the Tenancy Agreement may result in written notice to vacate.
