If you’re already a tenant, please call us to obtain a transfer form.

Any existing Council or partner housing association tenant living in Oxford City can apply. However, your application is only likely to be approved if:

  • you do not have a current court order against you for rent arrears or anti-social behaviour.
  • you are living in your property as your main home.

The council operates an Incentive Scheme for council tenants who wish to move into a smaller home as it frees up a family-sized home.

Council and housing association tenants can also apply to exchange your home through HomeSwapper

If you want to move because of problems with anti-social behaviour, problems with repairs or because you need your property to be adapted, a transfer may not be the best option and you should speak to your landlord for advice. Oxford City Council tenants should contact their Tenancy Management Officer.
