Derby City Council Tenancy Strategy

Significant changes are now taking place in the housing world. There is a new act of parliament which will change the way social housing is provided and managed, while the amount of funding we have for building new houses and delivering housing related support is being reduced

Despite these changes and financial pressures, we will continue to work hard with our partners to provide homes of a suitable type and size, in a warm and safe condition, along with appropriate support services, for all those in housing need.

Our new Tenancy Strategy will set out in more detail how we will do this. In other words it will consider how, in the light of this new framework for housing, we can operate most effectively. The Strategy will provide the basis for changes we make to the management of our own stock, and give guidance to other providers of social housing, such as housing associations, that are active in our city. 

The full strategy document, a summary of the key points and a question and answer guide can be downloaded from this page.

All with an interest in housing in Derby are welcome to respond, though the consultation is particularly aimed at the following:

• registered providers (Housing Associations)
• charities and non-statutory agencies involved in the provision of housing or housing related support
• voluntary and community organisations
• resident and tenants’ Groups
• households currently awaiting accommodation from the housing register
• individual tenants / members of the public
• Councillors (Elected Members)
• Private Sector Landlords
