Residents sign a simple tenancy agreement and are expected to show consideration to their neighbours. They are free to have guests, keep pets and otherwise carry on their lives as they wish.
We are committed to involving residents wherever possible in decisions which affect them; We invite those who are interested to participate in meetings and to respond to occasional surveys about quality of housing and support.
