Secure tenancy
Most tenants are secure tenants. Secure tenants have ‘security of tenure'. This means that your tenancy can only be ended with a court order if it is proven to the court that there is a good reason to evict you.
If you become a secure tenant, you will remain one, so long as:
- the property is your only or main home
- you do not completely sublet your home
- the court does not make an order ending your tenancy.
You’ll become a secure tenant if you don’t break the tenancy agreement rules during your 12-month trial period.
If you do break the rules of your tenancy agreement, your introductory tenancy may be extended by six months, or ended.
