Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Community Direction).
Minutes:
Members were advised of proposed new tenancy conditions for council tenants and two related policies – the Successions Policy and the Recharge Policy. It was explained that the recharge policy would charge for repairs and was intended to make tenants aware of the consequences of their actions. With regard to the Successions Policy, it was noted that this had been updated following new legislation as part of the Localism Act which allowed greater discretion in agreeing successions of tenancies. During debate, the following points were raised:
A Members asked if other RSLs would be part of the initiatives, and in response it was noted that it was up to each provider, but that contact could be made with them to ask.
It was moved by Councillor Bray, seconded by Councillor Bill, and
RESOLVED – the Tenancy Conditions, Successions Policy and Recharge Policy be approved for consultation with tenants.
