Review of North Tyneside Tenancy Strategy

The Localism Act 2011 placed a duty on local housing authorities in England to publish a tenancy strategy that sets out what they expect from registered providers of social housing when formulating policies relating to:

The kind of tenancy to be granted.
The circumstances in which they will grant a tenancy of a particular kind.
Where they grant these tenancies for a term certain, the length of the terms and
Other circumstances in which they will grant a further tenancy on the coming to an end of an existing strategy.

The key aim of the tenancy strategy is to provide guidance to registered providers of social housing in North Tyneside to:

Ensure housing stock meets local housing need.
Enable households to make informed choices based on their individual circumstances.
Strengthen and maintain successful and sustainable communities and
Prevent homelessness.

The existing North Tyneside Tenancy Strategy has been reviewed and revised to reflect national welfare reform changes that have been introduced in recent years, as well as national and local policies and plans.
