Assured tenancy
Usually you become an assured tenant after successfully completing a starter tenancy.
This trial period is to prove you are a responsible tenant before the housing association offers you an assured tenancy.
If you are an assured tenant you have strong rights.
If you do not break the tenancy conditions, you will usually be able to stay in your home for the rest of your life.
Tenancy conditions are rules about living in the property – like paying the rent on time.
