Starter Tenancy
A starter tenancy is a trial tenancy. They are
assured
shorthold tenancies normally lasting for 1 year. At the
end of the starter tenancy you should automatically become an
assured
tenant.
In certain cases we may extend the
probationary period or in extreme case pursue eviction. If you have
a joint tenancy,
the trial period ends as soon as one of the joint tenants has
completed the trial period. Anytime you have spent as a starter tenant with
another housing association should count towards the trial period,
but you should check to see if it says otherwise in your
agreement.
