Tenancy offered by housing associations

Housing associations have different types of tenancies. They can offer:

  • A starter tenancy
  • An assured shorthold tenancy
  • An assured tenancy
  • A flexible tenancy (for a fixed period of time)

If you are successful in gaining a property with a housing association they will advise you of the type of tenancy that they are offering to you.

Your rights as a tenant with a housing association will depend on the type of tenancy that you have.

Further information can be found by contacting the relevant housing associations
