Your tenancy agreement

Ending your tenancy

If you want to bring your tenancy to an end, you must contact the Allocations Team by telephone on 01283 595953 or email Housing.Register@southderbyshire.gov.uk.

You will then receive Termination of Tenancy paperwork that you will need to complete and return to us. The amount of notice you need to give us is dependent on the reason you are terminating your tenancy and this will be confirmed to you when you receive your termination paperwork.

During your notice period you will be asked to contact a Property Inspector who will arrange to visit the property before the keys are handed back to the Council. When your tenancy terminates, ensure that you remove all your furniture and belongings and make sure that the property is left in a good condition. If we have to carry out any works to the property (other than for wear and tear), or dispose of belongings and rubbish, we will re-charge you for this work.
