Tips about your move

Keys to your new home

We will give you two new keys for each lock and two fobs (where applicable) for your new home. You will have to pay for any extra keys or additional fobs.

Going away

If you are going to be away from your home for more than 28 days you will need to inform your Tenancy Officer and give the anticipated date you will return.

If you are away for more than 28 days without informing us, we will assume you have abandoned the property and steps will be taken to regain possession and relet the premises.

Keeping pets

You can keep a cat, fish or caged bird and they should not cause a nuisance. You must obtain written permission from your Tenancy Officer for any other animal.

Contents insurance

It is your responsibility to organise contents insurance. It is important that you take out contents insurance against flood, fire and burglary.

Lewisham Council have an arrangement with Aviva (formerly known as Norwich Union). For an application form contact your Tenancy Officer.
