This handbook is under review because of changes in national policies and the reorganisation of the Housing Service.
We are talking to tenants and leaseholders about how this will affect us locally.
We plan to publish a new handbook later in 2012.
Visit our Tenancy Agreement and Tenants' Rights pages for more information.
