Tenancy Management Policy

This policy sets out how we manage council tenancies from the point at which a tenancy is granted, through to the point where it ends and the key stages during its lifespan.

Our tenancy management approach supports the key principles outlined in the council's Thrive Agenda:

• Put people and families at the heart of everything we do
• Tackle inequality so people have a fair chance
• Support our communities to support themselves and each other
• Invest in our economy to provide sustainable opportunities for innovation and growth
• Work together and fight for a better future for Gateshead

This policy complements the council's Tenancy Strategy 2022 to 2027 which sets out our expectations of all social landlords in Gateshead.
