Tenancy Workshop

This course aims to give information and guidance to individuals around the areas of holding a tenancy.

It is hoped that individuals will have a greater knowledge of their rights and responsibilities when they hold their own tenancy.

Individuals will be asked to use their past experiences to explore and develop new ways of managing a tenancy in order to successfully remain in permanent accommodation in the future.

The course is run in two sections, covering the rights of the tenant and the responsibilities of a tenant.

The course will also look at the responsibilities of the landlord and how as a tenant you should expect to be treated as a tenant.
