Changing, renewing or ending a tenancy

This section briefly describes the circumstances in which DCJ Housing may relocate a public housing tenant.

Relocating tenants

From time to time DCJ Housing may require tenants to move from their home to another social housing property. The move could be because:

• The house is too big for the household
• The house has been modified for a person with a disability who no longer lives there
• The property is not owned by DCJ Housing and the lease with the private landlord has expired
• DCJ Housing intends to demolish the house and re-develop the site with more modern buildings, or
• DCJ Housing intends to sell the house.

When this happens we will re-house the tenant in a dwelling that meets their needs.

For more information about relocations, please see the Changing a Tenancy Policy.
