Your tenancy

Your tenancy agreement is a legal contract between you and Lewisham Council and is designed to make sure that you and other tenants are good neighbours and take proper care of the homes you rent.

It sets out some rules that you, and those who live in or visit your home, must keep to by law.  The tenancy agreement gives you rights as well as responsibilities.  It also lists the services you are entitled to in return for the rent you pay.

Your Tenants Handbook is not a legal document. It is a document that contains useful information about the management and maintenance of your home. Relavent contact details of Lewisham Homes' services, your local area Housing Offices and services provided by Lewisham Council can be found within.
