When you move into your home it will have been checked to make sure that it meets the standards agreed with other tenants and any essential repairs will have been completed.

Once your tenancy has started we will arrange to visit you within a couple of weeks or so to check you have settled in and to explain more about what it means to be a tenant of Alliance Homes.

If you'd like to become involved in your community, visit our Get Involved section to find out more about our community hubs and ways for you to have your say regarding Alliance's services. 

If you think you might need any further support, visit our Support pages where you will find details of how our teams can help. 

If we have no concerns about how you’re getting on, we will look to convert your tenancy at some point between six and 18 months after you start your tenancy. But if you do breach the terms of your tenancy agreement while you have a starter tenancy, we can give you two months notice that you must leave and a court will automatically give possession of your home back to us.

Your Tenancy Agreement is a legal contract and amongst other things means that you are required to:

Pay your rent on time

This means making regular payments and making sure that you do not fall behind with your rent.   

Take care of your home, garden and any shared areas

This means keeping gardens tidy and keeping corridors and staircases free of items that may be unsightly or cause an obstruction or safety hazard to others.

Allow us access

This means letting us into your home when we need to service gas appliances, check electrical installations or carry out any other survey work.

Look after your pets properly

This means picking up and disposing of waste, keeping animals under control and understanding for example that a barking dog is annoying to your neighbours.

Park cars with care and courtesy

This means using designated parking areas safely without blocking other vehicles, carrying out repairs or other activities that inconvenience others.

Be considerate to your neighbours and others around you

This means behaving responsibly and lawfully, showing the same respect to others as you would expect them to show to you – but including a degree of tolerance when necessary.
