Changes to the Scope of Social Housing Periodic Tenancy Reviews
14 May 2025.
Expanding the scope of periodic tenancy reviews in social housing by modifying exemptions for classes of people who are not being considered for reviews.
Key changes include increasing the exemption age from tenancy reviews for tenants or their partners from 65 to 70, and limiting the exemption age from tenancy reviews for tenants or their partners with dependent children under 14 years old. The changes aim to better utilise social housing and free up social housing properties for people with a greater need, including those in emergency housing.
