Charnwood Borough Council - Leading in Leicestershire

Our Responsibilities

We must consult with any tenant or group of tenants on matters which may affect their tenancies, homes and estates. Any views and comments expressed will be taken into account when making a decision.

We must ask your views about any planned changes to the Tenancy Agreement. You will be told in writing of any changes. This is known as a Notice of Variation. This procedure does not apply to changes to your rent.

We will give you four weeks written notice of any changes to your rent.

Your Rights

Right to Information
You have the right to see certain information held by us in relation to your own housing circumstances. If you want to look at any information then you should speak to Housing Services.

Right to join Tenants’ Groups
You have the right to start or join a local tenants’ group. You should ask Housing Services about groups in your area or about how to start one.

The Right to Manage
Tenant organisations have the right to take over managing their homes or estate. The scheme allows tenant organisations to run services instead of us. This type of management can only take place with our full agreement. You should ask at Housing Services for more details.

Cabinet and Committee Meetings
As a member of the public you can attend Cabinet meetings, which decide how Council services are run and managed, and Housing Scrutiny Committee meetings, which scrutinise the Council’s Housing Service. You can find out more by enquiring at the Council’s Service Shop.
