DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST FOR ITEM:
 
None
 

RESOLVED:
 
That Cabinet:
 
 
1.   
Approves the adoption of the draft Tenancy Strategy to come into
effect from 4 November 2025.

2.   
Delegate authority to the Director of Housing in consultation with
the Cabinet member for Housing and Planning to make any future
modifications to this strategy required by changes to legal or
regulatory requirements arising in the four-year period before the
strategy is due for review.
 

Reasons for decision:
 
A Strategy setting out
the Council’s expectations for Registered Providers
(RP’s) of Social Housing in the borough is important for
providing guidance and support to RP’s on a range of issues:
 
•         in
letting social housing
•        
developing housing policies

•         and
supporting residents to live independently and sustain their
tenancies.
 
Haringey’s
current Tenancy Strategy ran from 2014 – 2016. A new Tenancy
Strategy was required.
 

Alternative options considered
 
Do nothing. The
Council could not have continued with an out-of-date tenancy
strategy. This option was rejected because it would not meet the
Council’s needs or those of its tenants. Introducing this new
strategy will allow the Council to meet its obligations under the
Localism Act 2011.
